AH-64 Apache 'Solo Display'
RNLAF Demo Team - 'The Hawk'

looking good, did you use all decals or paint some parts?

Bart Meeldijk
Thanks! All decals, but I had to 'fix' some things - where some parts didn't really fit nicely. But the Revell/Syhart decals are really good and, more important, very solid and strong! Starting a 1/48 F-16AM from Belgian Airforce (solo display 'Blizzard' Syhart decals) next, hopefully just as tough as these! 😉

i see, Revell Apache has really bad fit, i will use only decals with Hasegawa kit...

Bart Meeldijk
Haha yes, it sure is! Fir this version they added some new parts from much better molds, but the original one was horrific. Also the plastic is very raw, rough and ugly. But with a lot of filling and sanding it came out just fine!

[img1] i will use same kit again with this decal 😉

Bart Meeldijk
Very cool! Unfortunately the demo-team painted the Apache green again, that's why I liked this version. It's a cool build, these decals are a good challenge.

wonderful job Bart

Tim Heimer
awesome job on this! I'm doing the longbow now and can relate to some of your problems.

Bart Meeldijk
Thanks! @Timothy: this was an old kit/release with some new parts. The fitting wasn't too good, but fortunately the decals and scheme cover up quite a bit! 😉

a great job!i finish a hasegawa ah64d,the fitting is bad too.so,can you tell me where is the bad fitting with 04896?thank you.

Bart Meeldijk
daj8: Thanks! Especially the decal/paintscheme makes this a nice helo to build. The overal fitting is not so good, and the original Revell kit is a nightmare. Sprues are old and 'messy', old plastic, very rough.
The addition of new parts (newer version) are much better! Better material also, very soft and well detailed.
The decals are outstanding, but the kit itself needs a lot of sanding and dry-fitting...

thank you.you are a real warrior.
