Desert Storm...1/48 McDonnell Douglas AH-64A Apache US Army "Wolfpack"


Recommended Posts

#27/2017

Ok, this is now definitely my dad´s last model for 2017

The old Italeri (Testors) kit built oob, only added the antenna on the tail boom.
Would have preferred the Hasegawa kit but it hasn´t been produced for some time now and is hard to get.
When I finally managed to get one, my dad was already halfway with the Italeri kit and kept going with it.
Not the best or most correct kit, also the model turned out with some glitches, but nevertheless we hope you like it.
Painted with an olive-grey acrylic selfmix.

Build thread here

 

The model shows a chopper of 1-82nd Attack Helicopter Regiment, called "Wolfpack", Dharhan, Saudi Arabia 1991.
Don´t know if this scheme is correct or if it´s just an artist´s fantasy, found no pic.

Great-looking Apache. Your Dad must be chained to the modelling bench to produce so many models!

thanks!

haha, no, always several models at once in progress, therefore a higher output

Your work is ossom!!! I have a question do you have some reference photos for orginal? I am planning to do the same model.

 

thanks!

As mentioned in the original post I haven´t found one, so it could be a fictious scheme. But it looks good, more "colourful" than the usual schemes.

Also found a Facebook site of this unit, wrote a message but got no answer.
