I remember building that old Revell 1/32 Apache through the Birds of Prey series. Along with the Mig-29 and I believe the Ea-6A or B. Good times!
While building the Monogram version of the Apache I kept thinking this was smaller then I recall and I had to remind myself that it’s 1/48 scale, not 1/32. [H]
On another note, I am actually just about done with this build I have to do a couple fo paint touch ups where the mask lifted off the paint ont he canopy plus fix the machine gun.
Nice work!! I did that kit a few years ago, and remember it NOT being an easy build. I ended up having to clean up a lot of seams, and do significant work on the engine nacelles. My kit had a short shot to one of the exhaust grills which required a fair amount of time with the putty, styrene sheet and files to make it close to right.
It ended up okay, and my wife really liked it (I did it for her, since she mentioned she really liked the way they looked). Sadly, it suffered a crash from it’s display location (atop her crafting cabinet) and the airframe was a total write-off. I did get to play with finishes and a fair amount of scratch-building so the build wasn’t a total waste.
