    1/35 US AH-64E Apache Guardian Attack Helicopter Takom 02602

    Hmmm I think I’ve taken on way above my skill set, don’t expect this to be a quick build, summer is almost here and the little fishes will be calling me

    I can‘t see the colour scheme be too taxing, they only reference 4 colours, I’ve also got the Red Fox detail set to go with it.

    Nice one, I'm in for this as I've got a 1/35 Bell Kiowa in the stash that keeps calling... good choice of build though, Takom are usually easy to build without too much faffing around, and end up looking good when done..

      There's a lot of plastic there John. It will definitely be a slow build. It will be interesting to see it come together.

            It doesn't do to rush these things John.

              Interesting build, John.
              I'll take a chair, if you don't mind.

                  I like that instrument panel, especially the 'map' decal... looks so much better than blank screens.

                      Almost finished the cockpit, although as it’s mostly black it looks a bit bland, one of the tiny pieces on the top ”pinged” and vanished

                          Made a few modifications and it turned in to a BMW MP4 :smiling5: just a few decals left to put on.

                          I decided to put the Apache back in the box, it’s a winter project, I’m away a lot during the summer and want to dedicate time to it.

                            Amazing what a lick of paint and some stickers can do! :smiling5:

                            Seriously though, very nice crotch rocket.

                              Great looking bike/attack helicopter!
                              Seriously, the Apache can wait. Enjoy the summer John - the fish await.
                              Fabulous looking BMW bike though.
