Wood you believe this? I have severe doubts about the veracity of the historical appointment of this build.

The real problem would be hand turning the props.

Suggested improvements; Wood surface the helo blades. Remove or modifiy the old air intakes from the original mold to look more like fuel and oil cells. Over stuffed leather seats (Oeffag was big on over stuffed leather seats). Instead of the bubble clear canopies, Angled piece or sections. Just my opinion.

Hi,
The maker of the Austro-Hungarian Apache is Peter Lorincz from Hungary.

It is great! Also it is good to know that it was made by an Hungarian builder.
However to have the real 1917 feeling, open cockpits would be necessary. Also white-rubber-tire spoked wheels should be used for this.
By any account this looks great.
