davidsm Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Good evening. I'm about to embark on building Revells 1/48 Apache. In the scheme of The Dutch solo display. Having looked at the pictures i've noticed some differences from the kit. 1, there are pods on the wings and 2, the top of the rotor is different. Any ideas as id like to get it accurate if possible. I no I can buy Hasewagas version when it comes out, but im not spending all that cash for another kit. for a few bits! Thanks in advance David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) If I were you, I'd wait for the Hasegawa kit. The Dutch use the AH-64D, the Revell kit is really an AH-64A. The D has bigger chinpods than the A for various electronics and such. You can see the differences quite well on these pics: AH-64A AH-64D Since you plan to do the solo display bird, those smaller chins might cause a problem with the decals that go on the area. The rotor top is different too, on the D, the Longbow radar can be carried there, but we don't have those. Hence the difference from the A. The pods are AMASE pods, which are ECM devices. These are mounted most of the time, but can be removed, which is the case in the second pic. It's your model in the end, but in this case, I think getting the D is a better option, because of the big decals probably not fitting right on an A.
