  Hello this is my AH-64A Apache. This is my first helicopter ive built and it was an enjoyable build, the kit fitted together very well and there was not a lot of filling and sanding required at all. I used Eduards photoetch for the cockpit and the main gun was not movable so i made it moveable which was quite easy to do. :)

  I used Tamiya & humbrol Paints and also Vallejo Varnishes & had to experiment to get the grey camo shades right, i also used my usual weathering techniques ( artist oils , washes ) to get the light weathering effect i was after.
