Dave Williams Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I’m very happy to see this. Takom does good armor kits. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I will get a D as the Kangnam/Academy one is quite bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Are the kits an -A and -D, or a -D and -E? The Modeling News says the latter. https://www.themodellingnews.com/2022/09/twin-35th-scale-apaches-on-horizon-from.html#more Also, the two silhouettes appear almost identical, other than the FCS radome, so D/E makes more sense because the FABs seem the same size.

scvrobeson Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 It's about time. It's amazing that we've gone this long without a good 1/35 Apache. After decades of service, there's just been the ancient Revell 1/32 kit, and the inaccurate 1/35 Academy kit. Can't wait to see what Takom can do.

Dave Williams Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The 1/35 Academy kit was a rebox of the old IMEX/Kangnam kit, which was fairly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilCarrot Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Isn't the Kangnam kit just a copy of the Revell kit? I've built the latter ages ago and the parts division seems VERY similar. In any case I'm looking forward to the new Takom kits, they've done some of my favourite armour kits so I have high hopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think so. For one thing it’s 1/35 scale, and from my memory the Kangnam kit (I had the IMEX boxing) was a little less detailed than the Revell kit. Also, IIRC there was an issue with the height of the gear (the front stood way too high). I had both kits, and even though I had the Eduard set for the IMEX kit to dress it up, I still thought the old Revell kit was better.
