Hello
I am not sure is it really that scale, or maybe 1:35 as PE from Eduard fitted almost perfectly in cockpit.
Well, other parts will have to be scratchbuilt.
Progress so far:

It looks like it is coming along nicely. The kit is 1/32 scale, as is the Eduard PE. The kit builds into a pretty good, late '80s AH-64A. To bring it up to date a bit, Verlinden has a nice set, also Cobra Company does a great set that adds external sensors and a new nose piece for a mid-late 2000s bird.

Hi Folks
Small progress, wipers sanded off and new done from brass rod, few pieces on the nose, wire cutters on main landing gear, engine re-scribed and riveted and few other pieces:

Well done Adam, great work on the scratchbuilding details. Have any unit marking in mind.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Hi
I wasn't really thinking of it, i will probably go with what's in the box, unless you know about any AF set?

Hi
Primer done, dry fit so far. I am hoping to have it ready for Telford:

Looking really nice. I like the blade fold and blade stands. I'll be waiting to see how it turns out. Keep up the good work.

I don't mean to hijack the thread at all, but I was wondering if anyone out there knew the most accurate 1/48 or 1/32 scale AH-64A out there (meaning it requires the least amount of scratchbuilding to get it accurate) as I would like to remake my fathers Apache from the Gulf War (90-91) and place it in a FARP diorama.
