revell 1/48 Westland AH64D longbow Apache

[Alan 45]

this kit was a bit confusing well for me anyway , it seems like its an old kit with an additional spur added so you have the choice of making one of three versions.

the confusing part is in the instructions , its ok when you begin the kit because the instructions just deal with the main body of the craft but it gets confusing later when the instruction keep swapping from the British version to the US version and the Netherlands version, for the British version it shows you the different parts to add to the kit but later on in the instructions it shows a different kit with pieces you were not instructed to add.

anyway I think this is my best chopper yet ( oooooo Matron ) so I hope you like it

Nice job Alan, it looks mean and sharp like the real thing. The Apache is a real masterpiece of killing technology. If you haven't already read it, I recommend Ed Macy's books 'Apache' and 'Hellfire' about flying the British Apache in Afghanistan. Great reads that provide you with a good understanding of the workings of the Apache and the life of helicopter attack pilots. A helicopter made more famous and known recently of course by Prince Harry.

Ill look out for that cheers , I saw a documentary on the discovery Chanel about a year ago about the apache , she can pick out targets from 5 miles away and attack them with hellfire missiles with pin point accuracy it's one evil beast
