    Italeri 148 Boeing AH-64D Apache Longbow # 2748

    Decided to give this a go, first time building an Italeri and afraid it will be my last time unless you gents can tell me otherwise, quality of this has been terrible

    Never built that one Lloyd, but the 1/48 Stuka and Hurricane I built a couple of years ago were pretty good. Decals were excellent as well, probably the best I’ve used. All manufacturers produce the occasional duff kit I think. Probably best to look for unbiased reviews or ask around before buying any more from them though, because I might just have got lucky….

          Looks good to me too
          I'm with Tim on this one,I actually quite like Italeri kits,built quite a few,ok they're a bit lacking in tiny details sometimes,and don't quite have that "Tamiya fit",but hey, overall I think they're pretty good.Not built that particular kit mind,so maybe it's one of theirs that "Got away"
          You're making a good job of it I reckon though

            I’m currently building (fighting) an Italeri helicopter kit so can feel your pain Lloyd :sad:

            Looks like you are getting the better of it though, looks great :thumb2:
