discussion WAH64d Longbow Apache 1/48

[Guest]

Back from a short break and a new project what better.


Building the "Westland" British Army version to go with my Afghanistan sequence. Looks good. Like most helicopters there is a lot going on. So to see if i can make something of this my 3rd helicopter.

Very nice and usual Revell instructions

Cannot say I am enamoured with the colour of the sprue I like grey but I suppose that is brain washing

This is the Westland alternative sprue. Dark green yucks.

The Apache...!


I remember it...was my first, and maybe the only, helicopter that I built when I was 17


Painted in black....


You have all my attention Laurie!

 

[Wong Ryan]

Can't wait to see the progress pics ...

 

[Guest]

You have all my attention Laurie!


Surely that's a lie, haven't you got a room to finish!


Sorry about the state of the quote, using my phone and I cocked it up haha

Yeah that's the messed up quote... I meant polux. He has a new modelling room and dio shelves and a started build to do and claims he is giving you all his attention!

 

[Guest]

Haven't you started yet Laurie?!

 

[Guest]

Nice choice Laurie, looking forward to following this build

 

[Guest]

Haven't you started yet Laurie?!

Been on a sabbatical Patrick called a holiday or 9 deprived days of nil model making. This has to be self inflicted pain.


See what I can do Patrick to placate your excitement and impatience ( actually mine as well).

Live the look of these beasts looking forward to seeing this get underway...I'm looking at getting one to build so your build will help me get a taste for it..

Yes looks a nice model John. There are others which are more detailed especially internally. But this one looks as though it has enough going on to keep me happy..

It's true, I have so many unfinished work


But I always invert a few minute on the forum everyday!


And there is a reason...Laurie makes me think about it.... Just imagine one of those shelfs with some helicopters and Land Rover on a sandy base
