ah-64 revell

[:D] hi guys,i just got this kit and i would like to know if its a good kit or bad? its 1;32 scale and at first look it seems to be good,i dont know much about helos i build armour[:I] ,so any help you folks can give will be great,thanks guys,have a great day.[:D]

It is a very good version of an early (mid-'80s) A model. It makes into a great model with no problem areas. Edauard does a couple PE sets for it if you want to spruce it up a bit, doesn’t really need it though. Definitely the best large-scale Apache out there. Jon “Cobrahistorian” Bernstein has built a few and converted a couple to current D models too. I’m sure he will come up and give his review as well.

Good luck with a good kit.

Verlinden Productions also makes a very nice 1/32 Apache Detail Set#2198 which includes resin and PE parts

[:D]thanks Gino,nice to know its a good kit,looking forward to seeing what Jon has to say.thanks again.[:D]

[:D]thanks Rescuehawk,i will keep that i mind.[:D]

Hey Gdarwin!

Yep, the Revell kit is the best large-scale Apache kit out there. It has some issues, but overall it represents a very nice Apache between 1984 and 1990. The Verlinden update set comes with everything you need to update it to a Desert Storm-era Apache, but still lacks the laser detectors found on current machines. These details can be scratchbuilt pretty easily with sheet styrene, which would save you the $40 pricetag for the update set. Unfortunately, that’s about it for large-scale AH-64s. It builds up nicely though. Just watch the ejector pin flash. There’s usually a LOT of it.
