Hey all,
Well, Bob let the cat out of the bag this afternoon, but he’s putting out two new AH-64 decal sheets in 48th scale. The first to be released is “Iron City Apaches”, which highlights the 1-104th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, Pennsylvania Army National Guard.
I for one am looking forward to this sheet so I can finally build MY helicopter (or the one I think is mine, it actually belongs to my crew chief). Some great markings on there!
Jon
Great news, will be getting them.
PS Keep your crew chief happy
ALWAYS
Question Jon, does your “Walk-around” book have photo’s of your bird or others to make an accurate model? Sorry I can’t remember for sure. Also anybody doing AM resin for A’s and D’s?
John,
The Walkaround does not have any Pennsylvania birds in it, but I can hook you up with refs if you need em. As far as aftermarket goes, the only thing you’ll need is a piece of .035" styrene rod to do the HF “towel rack” antenna" and a set of the aft AVR-2A laser detectors. Dr. Pepper Resins did a set of AVRs for the Hasegawa kit a few years ago, and I know Cobra Company has 48th scale AVRs as well.
I am working on an upgrade for Block 2 AH-64Ds that will be cast in resin, but I have another project that I’m mastering first.
Thanks Jon, just want to make sure I get all the lumps and bumps right. I will be ordering those decals as soon as they are available. Got a Hasagawa A and D in my stash, just been waiting on some decent decals
