Hasegawa 1/48 AH-64D Apache Longbow

[oortiz10]

This is the second of a pair of Apaches that I started exactly one year ago today. I'm happy to say that both are done. (Phew!)

This was painted with AK Real Color lacquers, and Testors and MM enamels. It was weathered with washes and pastels, and decals are from Two Bobs. Except for some wire antennas and a Reskit gun, everything is OOB.


































Time to move on to new projects! Of course, comments, questions, and criticisms are welcome. Feel free to drop you two cents into the bucket on your way out. Thanks for stickin' with me!



Cheers,

This is just superb Omar!! This reminds me of when I used to spend a LOT of time around these aircraft while I was stationed at what used to be Fort Hood out on Hood Army Airbase. You could look out across the flight line at 2/6, 3/6 and 4/6th Cavalry and it looked like a sea of rotor blades out there.

This is an excellent representation of these types and you've done a brilliant job with the color modulation and detailing. WOW!!!

Thanks for the "Likes" and the pats on the back. I really appreciate the feedback. I also want to say thanks for keeping me motivated on this project, especially the Hase plastic.

Excellent finish on both. The way you did the distressed look of the color looks fantastic
