Very unusual plane, great build too. It has this "Dastardly and Muttley Catch the Pidgeon" vibe.

Hello, I've always wanted to have upgraded AH-64 from 1998 "Godzilla" movie. These upgraded Apaches had longer stub-wings with three hardpoints on each one along with reinforcement beams mounted to engine nacelle and side sponsons, larger (longer and more bulky) engines, three cannons (one standard and two more on each side of cockpit-please, don't ask , it is nonsence, muzzle flash from the guns mounted on the side would interfere with the pilot and the gunner's night vision. ) and additional stabilizers on bottom of each front sponsons. I had one approach to this Apache in my modelling past, this will be second, maybe succesful this time These are photos of 1/8 movie miniatures. Since movie sequences with Apaches are very dark then I'm limited to these two (!!!) photos. Maybe, just maybe I'll add Master cannons but they're not cheap and I need at least two, better three. More soon...

Pete and Kyofu (Rex)...I would love to have them in 1/32 or larger. Reppu in final version with cannons in fuselage and turbocharged engine would be great too.

Great choice of markings and camo. I'd love to have this model. Unfortunately, where I live its very rare...

Thank you. I'm using Taft hairspray. First of all, aluminium overcoat l, then hairspray in few layers from airbrush and finally grey/green. Then I wet surface with water. Hairspray coat dissolving and I can remove paint where I want to. I prefer hairspray than chipping medium because its more controllable.

And that's it Of course, not without small disaster in the end - due to high humidity decals stuck into bottom of box so I had to use self-made masks. Surprisingly - nailed it

Painting is almost finished...

GB section needs to be updated.. Now there are ASIA GB and SNAKES GB ongoing...VTOL already ended

Cockpit in progress...

Great work on nude fighter ! Ta-152 and Fw-190D-9 are my favourites from all Luftwaffe airplanes.

Got it In fact...I was more for Japanese Zero than Akutan (American) Zero so...good

Finished

I still hadn't decided...Japanese Zero or so called Akutan Zero, repainted blue gray/light gray with US markings and tested in Anacostia.

I dont have any scrapped rudder for a change and I dont have experience and materials to scratchbuild one. I know that it would be needed but...well...not this time.

First color is done...It's not describel polish khaki but it's good enough for me...
