Hey all,
Ok, since everyone’s talking about the Little Bird kit (I have yet to get one [:(!] ) and there have been numerous questions about the Apache and Cobra lately, can we expand the Little Bird GB to any Attack Helo?
I’ve got a bunch just waiting to be started (not to mention the F model Cobra and 2 Apaches waiting to be finished!) and would love to see what everyone else is working on.
Count me in, Jon! I have plenty to choose from as well. You can definitely count on a Little Bird from me and a few others TBD.
Cheers,
Albert [:o)]
As long as the finish date is after March of next year you can count me in
dang… i was thinking about starting a ‘Night Stalkers’ group build when I get my Little Bird. But i guess it’s too late.
but here’s an idea: I think this GB should be expanded to include Night Stalkers’ special operations choppers. but only those. and the attack HELOS. I’m in!! When do we start?[:D][8D]
I’m thinking we make this a New Years thing. Maybe start 1 January and finish 1 March? Next semester’s gonna be a breeze for me, so I’ll have plenty of time to build. Nightstalkers birds are certainly welcome, since they all have some attack capability!
Speaking of which, does anyone know if there’s a kit of the indigenous Japanese attack helo made by Kawasaki? That’s a neat looking bird.
Now… what to build???
I’m in provisionally
I have a few projects in the pipe line that all revolve around the start of next year. But I have a hobby craft apache I need a reason to start.

I is possible to consider a start date around Dec. 20th? Because that’s when my Christmas break starts, and I’ll have time to build. I can’t really build much during school.[:(]
are we still going through with this build? ther’s been no reply for days…
I’m in.
I’m going to finally do the 1/32 Revell Apache accurization project for a hopeful FSM article. I’ve got the article written, just need to take the step-by-step photos, which this will let me do.
So, 1 January to 1 March? Is that enough time? I’m on break as of 20 December too, but I’ll be in NY for a few weeks relaxing. Lets plan on beginning on or about 1 Jan. Start the year off right… with GUNSHIPS!
I’ve never done a GB before. We covering all the bases here?
I’m in!!!
Would you be willing to have people here take an advance showing of the article??
If you’re really gonna start on Jan.1st, then i might have to drop out of the build. Because my parents really don’t like me doing models right after a two-week vacation, when i could have done something. too bad.
Balta,
I’d be happy to offer whatever advice I can. I’ve already got one Revell kit done with all of the mods. Looks pretty good. This build is going to go quite a bit slower though and I’m gonna photograph everything.
Jay, you’ve got a 3 month window to work with, so you don’t have to start immediately on 1 January. Hope you can still do it.
Between finishing my book and my dissertation, I’m going to be taking a well deserved break on 20 December!
Hi all,
I’d like to get in on this build too. I have a academy 1/48 Apache I need to start. I was deployed to afghanistan for a year. Want to set up a little diorama of the flight line there. I fairly new to the detail madleing world but I am a AH64A crewchief so mybe I can be of som assistance.

Has anyone done the hobby craft apache??
James
I just bought a MRC/Academy AH-1T+ Gold Cobra, a Two Bobs “Whiskey’s in the mix” decal sheet, a Cobra Company NTS resin cockpit update set, and Eduard photoetched detail sets (interior, exterior, armament, and mask). Sorry Jon, but I can’t put this one off until Jan 1. [dinner]
P.S. Anyone wondering where my Army stipend went? [8-]
Hello all. I would like to join you men, Read all your posts daily, and i would like to join this group build. What’s involved and how do i join in. I would be building a MRC Cobra w/ tow bobs decals and Cobras Co’s AH-1W (NTS) resin update set. One more thing i’d like to ask is, what is the NTS modification.
Aaron…
I hear ya man, I just did the same thing at Hobby Lobby. My stipend has vanished once again…
Can’t wait for the NTS upgrade and the decals to get here though!
Hummmmm…I really want to throw my hat in, too. I’ve got 6 kits on the bench right now in various stages of construction ( I should take the MH-47 refuelling probe off of the Sherman!!) I might be able to clear some room by Jan so I can work on the Mono Apache. I’ll be in touch.- Calvin
I have a AH-1W and a MH-53 Pave LowIII in the works but they have stalled. What are the rules of a group build?[?]
Hi All,
This sounds great. Since I returned to modelling a couple of years ago, I started out with helicopters, but Hasegawa’s 1/48 Apache with an Eduards PE set remains unstarted on the bench. I’ve since been drawn to the Dark Side (armor!) and am finishing up a couple of tanks. This would give me a great excuse to get that Apache done. What are the start and end dates? Between work and kids, my modelling time is fairly limited. Any chance of a Dec. 20 start (to take advantage of holidays) and something like a May 1 finish for about 4 months working time?
Let me know - sounds like fun.
