Hi Guys,

Finally finished the Apache, this is Hasegawa's excellent AH-64A with Eduard PE, thanks for my good classmate Porkchop (whom I went to the fifth grade (tm) together) for sending me the decal for the first cav, as well as a nose art of "midnight penetration", unfortunately the decal doesn't shown that well with the dark fuselage color. But it's there.

I weathered this chopper with weathering powder to duplicate a fairly used chopper in the desert.

Man, Dave, that thing looks like it could fly off of the table. I love the little details, Hellfires, lights, etc. Another great job. It almost makes we want to tackle my Academy Blackhawk...

Thanks for sharing her with us.

great job Dave ...love that worn look!!

That is a really nice looking Apache! I can only pray that my AH-64D paint job looks HALF that good

Lord Lens:

Another fine effort. I like the weathering, the lens work, and the open canopy and instrumentation detail. " Midnight Penetration" ---somehow it just fits :-) :-) :-)

ps: One more thing

Great job, makes me want to build a chopper.

Looks good Dave

Excellant job as usual Dave. Hope mine comes ou thalf as good as yours.. Will be starting soon

Very nice Dave! That should scare the ambush spots off your Tiger

Great job dude. Now did the Germans use this at Normandy or Falaise Gap?

Mrs. Porky says that's an incredible Cockpit

Another fantastic model Dave. I love the instrument panels. How did you get the real thing to fit on the table. Keep them coming

Nice job.
The added yellow weathering really adds a nice touch. I like the back end of the rocket tubes. The dry brush is well done.
Another well done set of clear details.

Nice job.

Very nice Dave... You really are a magician! (++)

oh that is beautiful !!!! what sort of powder did you use? and how did you apply it? makes me want to find the red baron's forker triplane and start weathering it! the detailing is awesome! everytime I see something new from you, it seems like you just keep on outdoing yourself. keep up the good work!

Great looking chopper.. I've always liked the apache. But I did notice that you had to get some german armor in those pics somehow.......is this intential or is it your sub-counsious speaking out to all of us.. ?

Dave, this looks really good...

I have just one question. I noticed that the windows are quite blurred, and not clear. As I assume you did this on purpose, I have to ask why ? Or is it just in the foto ?.

As I am in no way an Apache-expert, I would like to know. So i might learn something again.

Thank you guys for your nice comment. The blurred window is because I am impatient. I just brushed on a coat of clear, and they are not dried yet, and I took pics rightaway. Now they are clear as crystal. I might take the pics again.

I am a very impatient person comes to the end of a model... #:-)

Last when I saw progress in Ah-64 don't even thought it will be saw real - I like Your wheathering method - Nice job Dave .
