Nev Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Well, since this months SAMI is now out, featuring this model, I'm now happy to post pics of it, after its stunning (to me anyway) 3rd place in 1/48 Aircraft at the Coventry show I made a bit of a hash of the paintjob by airbrushing it freehand, so the black is a little overdone. I also broke off the whip arial in two stages at Coventry Apologies for the quality of the pics - due to its large size, awkward shape, and dark paintjob, its a right beggar to take pics off
chaoslord Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 great job dude! the beloved Apache looks awesome. Is it the Hasegawa kit?
Catbird Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Thats really nice. Looks like it about to punch someone. Very mean looking.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Great work Nev, it was a well deserved third place.
OzH Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Nice work, have jusr read the article, so double nice....
AndyL Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 The award was well deserved. I was at Cov and Nev has done a lovely job on it. Nice one Nev!
gishuk Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 looks pretty damn good to me. the japanese really know how to make camoflage interesting thats for sure
turnerdad Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Looks great, nice to see one that isn't just, well, er, green. Well done at the show.
hovis Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 lovely job!!! isn't it refreshing to see an apache in different colours from the usual?
Deanflyer Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 The award was well deserved. I was at Cov and Nev has done a lovely job on it. Nice one Nev! I spent most of the day at the Coventry show trying to surreptitiously drop something heavy on it to give myself more of a chance in the competition...being an Apache, I assumed it'd just shrug it off, though! Well done again mate, cracking job, especially on the freehand camo. Cheers, Dean
Greg B Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 A lovely build Nev, what were the colours you used?
Nev Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Luckily Tamiya recently released a series of JGSDF Camo. XF-72 to XF-74 from memory. Brown, Green and Olive Drab. Black is black, cockpit & rotor blades are NATO black.
sonofjim Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Heyup Nev! AAH ! this must be the beast you were telling me about when you dropped in earlier this year awsome job mate its the japanese sdf camos that make things look ultra futuristic ! beautiful work sir !
Julien Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Now that looks nice! I never really wanted to build an Apache as they were monotone, never thought of the JGSDF! Makes me want one. I would not worry about the paint job it looks fine to me. Julien
