oppenheimer Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Hello all, i know this forum is not a big fan of helicopters as i am I decided to post some pictures of this model that is a crisp representation of the Apache, great detail and lots of positive rivets as the real machine Started with the cockpit as usual i replaced all the buttons from the original plastic with ANYZ 3D printed switches and knobs,and data decals from ANYZ also, it really comes to life this black cockpit Edited March 29, 2023 by oppenheimer Dany Boy, KiwiZac, Michael931080 and 29 others 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Jorge, this is spectacular! You have some serious skills, placing each piece so meticulously. Could you share which ANYZ sets you used? By the way, in case you wanted to address this, the hoses on the rear bulkhead actually end in blower vents that point forward instead of merging in to the bulkhead.

AnthonyWan Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Great start Jorge. If I can ask - what sets did you use from ANYZ? Did you use his 1/35-1/32 sets or 1/48 ones? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokey Pete Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Very excited to see this one built. Helo fan here as well as jets, but I’ve only an interest in a few types. Mainly attack helicopters. Westland Lynx AH-64 Mi-24 Mi-28 That said, my daughter has brought me around to the idea that I should build the new ICM Skycrane too.

Uncarina Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Jorge, I’m looking forward to seeing you work your magic with that CH-54! In the meantime, your Apache build is inspiring me for my build. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
