Artoor_K Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hello! Right after finishing (this night I removed masking tape from cockpit glass). AH-64 "Cochiti" is a compound version of Apache. I based it on real compound Apache AH-64Z which is tested by Boeing. Engines, wings and vertical are from 1/72 Su-25, tail pusher prop is from 1/72 Orion, main landing gear is from 1/48 Su-25. Rest is from 1/48 Apache, with some parts from spare box. Main rotor blades were shortened. Decals from Apache were awful so I've used spares from A-10 and Tornado. Painted as usual, with Tamiya, Mr.Hobby and AK paints. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Thats an interesting idea and I have given you a like for the creativity shown. However I’ll be honest and please don't think I’m trying to be rude here as this is meant as a compliment. I never thought anyone could make an Apache uglier than it already was. Now that being said, I have always lived by the mantra “the uglier it is the better it does its job.” Congratulations you win for ugliest helicopter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we all know "Helicopters can't fly; they're just so loud and ugly that the earth repels them" Thank you very much and, yeah, it's ugly PS: I really curious what you'll think about CobraHind 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
