Viasistina Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Guys.. I have a urge to do an IDF 1/72 Apache with the appropriate mods. What is my best base kilt there? Academy? Hobby Boss? Etc. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Id say Academy for 1/72, Hasegawa for 1/48 and the only available AND accurate in 1/32-35 old Revell one. Rod. Edited November 25, 2014 by salvador001 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldog 09 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I would go with the Academy kit and Hobby Boss kit. Use the Hobby Boss kit as a donor kit for tail rotor and main rotor. Check out Armycast, for their AH-64 resin, IAF Peten decals, and Peten conversion set. Here is a link to a build I did several years back that may help with your build. Hope these help.

Viasistina Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Bulldog..I'm going for an AH-64d Saraf with the resin parts from Armycast. Question- do I need just the rotors from HobbyBoss or a larger part of the tail.? Am I missing anything else ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The tail rotor and main rotor will fit the Academy shafts. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

An accurate AH-64D in 1/72!!! I Google translated and got some garbled English, but enough to ID this as an upcoming Academy release. Does anybody have more info? I just got a bunch of ArmyCast D conversion kits. Don't I feel like a chump! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't I feel like a chump! I found Hannants in the UK listing a future release, Academy Kit # AC12514, 1/72 scale AH-64D Block II. No ETA yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
