Takom 1/35 AH-64D Block II Apache

[Leonidas]

I know, I know, it's not from WWII, but it's still awesome, and it is a BIG beast in 1/35 scale.

 

[SaparotRob]

You are correct. The AH-64 is awesome.

 

[Leonidas]

I really need to get a proper camera

Certainly looks to be a big beast. Will you be able to get it through the door with the blades on!!

Doubt it There is an option to have the blades be folded up, but since this kit has the pilots, I really want to display it in the air, maybe hovering over some trees as it fires a missile.

Well, that will definitely take up some space. Looking forward to more.

Nice and fiddly

The M230 chain gun. I love it, it looks so futuristic.

 

[fubar57]

I'm watching since I'm building the same model. I bought the Reskit chain gun kit and I'm posting it here too. It's on hiatus as I'm wrestling with building the 5" gun mount system for the Battleship New Jersey Mueum. You'll be ahead of me so I'm going to go to school on your wonderful build.

I appreciate it, but I will be honest, I'm not that good at making models. Particularly aircraft.

I hate to say this, but I don't think that I will paint the engines, or at least, not most of it since I am not planning on having them be visible except for the intake and exhaust areas. Idk. I might paint em, who knows

 

[Leonidas]

Well, I hate to say this, but I have in fact fucked up. I started building my rotor assembly backwards, so I am not sure if it will even go onto the rotor shaft correctly.

Contact Takom and see if they have spares they can give/sell you. Some companies are very generous if you explain what happened. Tears help

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That's a bit of a bugger but like Geo says, you have nothing to loose by contacting the company.
