Dave Roof Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Gentlemen, As my 72nd and 48th scale collection dwindles into the low double digits, my 32nd scale collection and "future project" list continues to grow. One potential aircraft on the list is an AH-64A from Desert Storm. Does anyone have a good run down on what needs to be done to the Revell kit to bring it up to date for the ODS time frame? Any and all input is greatly appreciated. Dave otis252, Luca and kalashnikov-47 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Anxious to see some replies to this. I've thought of building this kit as a late AH-64A kit myself. Course my dream is a modern AH-64D kit, you listening KH? Chuck kalashnikov-47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I'm not an Apache expert but I thought the ODS vintage-64's were just baseline A-models. All the later mods came into play much later. Honestly, I'm not sure if the A's saw many mods before they were phased out of active component service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I think you at least need the wire strike protection stuff and IR jammer, which came in the Flightpath and Verlinden detail sets. http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev2/1001-1100/rev1084-Verlinden2198-Tabsh/00.shtm https://www.djparkins.com/product.php?productid=17703 Cobra Company made an update set for the kit with MWS and laser sensors also, but I think that may have been for post-ODS. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/150060-cobra-company-32007-ah-64a-apache-upgrade-set One nice upgrade for the kit is the Master Models cannon and tail antenna set. http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/masam32092.htm Luca and kalashnikov-47 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunwinglow Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Me too although I'd like to do a Brit one some day. I have the brass gun set and of is very neat, but makes the rest of the gun look a bit plain! I'd pass on anything in 1:35 though......

Dave Williams Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 where can we find this set? it seems out-of-stock everywhere... I also have the revell apache in my stash Cobra Company shut down a few years ago. Lone Star Models bought the molds and has been slowly reissuing some of the CC sets, but I don't know if they've reissued this one yet. If LSM doesn't have, have to go to ebay or traders board.
