Ever since my last half cooked attempt on the Italeri Apache, this one is the Hasegawa one with Eduard PE. And the quality of the kit is so much better!!!! Here are some pics of the cockpit. By the way it's an AH-64A, and I am open for ideas to put as noseart.

The seat with Eduard Seatbelts, I used putty to make a new cushion

Part of the front panels

WHEW!!! That is good stuff Davidus.

Looking good Dave, tell us about the LED in the instrument panel... :-)
I wish you woulds stop doing this aircraft garbage though

My Brother:

Another build from "DA MAN"

The third pic should just about blow away anybody on this site. The detail is just incredible.

Those Eduard restraining belts are really nice.

Keep us posted.

ps: Da Slimer Dude actually posted a reply on your pics---life is getting good!

Another beauty in the works, Dave. Man, how do you do that interior like you do? That's incredable work!

Dave:
Take a look at the back of the Verliden "Lock-On" for the Apache. I think you will find some nose art that will go great on your AH-64.... (i have no scanner or I'd scan it in)

WOW. That's all I can say.

The detail is awesome!!!

Man - you don't slow down do you!!

That's one good looking cockpit. Are the instruments decals, paint or AM stuff?

No rest for the wicked, my friend.

Thank you all for your kind comment. The instruments are partially Colored PE (By the way, awesome, awesome stuff), and partially dry brushed and painted.

For the record, there is no LED in the cockpit, Last night chat with Obe, he must be on something funny, must be his wild imagination or something....

LED or not,A fine piece of work from da HK man.

Holy smokes!! Dave you have to explain how you got the display to look so good. Colored PE? Come on, spill the beans?? Do you have a shrink ray or something? Or did u doctor photos of a real cockpit to make it look like a model? All the dials and displays, are they painted on the PE or is it a decal?

Fooled by Oberst.
Still looks good. Whew, I guess you're not becomeing a sci-fi guy after all.
