noeyedears Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Revells 1/48 Apache done as a Brit. I found some nice pics of a dusty one, presubably in use in the middle east somewhere, which looked more interesting than a straight green, so this had a sand wash with added pigments over the tamiya paint to liven it up. Used the Heritage conversion parts and Attack Squardron Hellfires and pylons. Nice missiles but its a shame the pylons dont have the wiring detail on them as its a pain to add. Had to print my own decals to make them look like brit hellfires too. wired up the gun, rear rotor, and radome, and added the prominent rivets to the radome with lead wire, and used lenses from little cars for the seeker heads and tv cameras. There is no wip for this as it wasnt for a GB, and as its nothing special i didnt bother. Shame really as it was quite good fun adding all the bits and bobs. There are a few more pics plus the full res pics available on flickr if you have bad eyesight 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryl_five_zero Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 This is the best I've seen the Revell kit looking! You've done a really cracking job on it; the weathering is great, and there's a lot of attention to detail that really pays off. Great photos to do it justice, too.Top job! Daryl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
