Just a little back story on this one: when I were a lad and making lots of models my SOP for building a kit was to slap it together, slap some paint on and stick the canopy on last. (I know, I know but I was young) The last kit I made before I moved on to other things (drinking beer and chasing skirt)
was an Airfix 1/48 AH-64 Apache and was gutted to discover at the end of the build that the canopy was missing BOO HOO!
I wrote to Airfix but like many a letter sent to Jim'll Fix It I never got a reply BOO HOO!! The Apache was then used for air rifle taget practice.
Since becoming a born again plastic basher the Apache has been on my to build list and as luck and a piece of very kind generosity ( a big thank you to Andy - Skyraider) I managed to obtain one and heres the finished result. All built OOB which made a nice change.
All comments welcome
