Hello everybody!
I´m actually building an Apache and have some questions about the above mentioned missiles.
The kit is the Kangnam 1/35 AH-64D and I still don´t know, what to think of it…
Nevertheless, I have a little problem about the rear look of the Stinger and the Hellfire missiles: In the kit, they´re just plane, but I don´t believe, this is correct. I cant´s find any precise pictures of the missiles´ rear side. Do I have to drill holes? Or should I just paint some kind of cover plate?
I want the Apache as it looks ´in battle´, not on an airshow or something.
Maybe someone can help me here…
Thanks in advance, fellow-rotorheads!
Theoden,
I managed to dig you up a couple of line drawings of the missiles you seek, they arent fanststic but I hope its what you’re after.
Here is a pretty good pic of some Hellfire Missiles, they are damaged, but the pics pretty detailed.
And here is a photo of a stinger, once again not great…

Hope I have helped you!
Hi littlebird!
Thank You for searching, but I´ve already found those pics as well. I think, it´s not very clear how the hellfire looks from behind. E.g.: Is the Propulsion section covered or not?
And concerning the stingers: I entertain suspicion that the manfired version (MANPAD) looks a little different from the air platform version… though I´m not sure about it…
Oh, I see, You added some links…
I guess, this one helps a lot!!! Thank You!
Here is a pretty good pic:
it mentions that the coverings are removed before take off.
its from ARC, might be more there.
Hell, this is exactly what I was searching for!
Thanks alot, littlebird!
