Very nice work so far Steve, nice work with the pilots.
Steve's Hasegawa 1/72 AH-64A Apache Attack Helicopter
- Thread starter HAWKERHUNTER
- Start date
Steve, crew look good
Great start steve , pilots are looking excellent and should fill the cockpit nicely.
Without a doubt, the camera magnifies everything!
Pilots are now fitted.i have added some seat harnesses.
Also added the canopy. Absolutely perfect fit. Pictures taken before the crystal clear had dried so it is showing in the picture.
Should be able to make some serious progress now. Thanks for checking in.

Coming along very nicely
Looking good Steve, canopy looks great
Thanks Ian.
Cheers Joe. I am pleased with the canopy fit. Saves a lot of work in the long run.
Canopy all masked off. Seams smoothed out and a bit of rescribing on a couple of panel lines on top side. Wings and pylons fitted.Coat of primer on.
Also assembled some of the ordnance and applied some primer.
Thanks for looking.

Anticipating the real colours now. Good work so far.
Clos to getting some paint on Steve. Looks like you are enjoying the Hasegawa experience 
Great progress steve , pilots look excellent . Without its wheels or rotors its giving me Stingray vibes ! Looking forward to the paint , cheers tony
Yes I am Joe. It has gone together like a glove. Makes such a change from some of my recent horrorsClos to getting some paint on Steve. Looks like you are enjoying the Hasegawa experience
Thanks Neil. Pre shade and Olive drab going on today.
Yes it does have that look. The Apache is a menacing looking beast
Well despite the heat I have cracked on with some painting. Pre shading done with white. I am looking to give the model a bleached tired look as if it has done a tour in the desert so went heavy with the white along the spine, top edges of the engine narcels, leading edges of the wings and a few blotches on the rest of the fuzz
And this is what I ended up with.
next up some gloss varnish to seal then on with the decals.

Humbrol Enamel 155 Drab Olive Gern. Tamiya Acrylic grey primer and enamel matt white for preshade. I suspect the varnish will darken the paint further when applied.
Thanks Gern. I dont normally use pilots but made the exception in this case.
Pity. I don't use enamels and every acrylic version of Olive Drab I have is much too dark. Must keep looking!
