Gary Kitchen Thanks Guy. I'm a bit further on and will get some photos up. Been struggling with the Koolhoven project and now wrestling with some Eduard Resin Hellfires That make the kit ones look like fat cigars.
Gary Kitchen Lovely build Oliver. I think I stumbled across this doing my research. Like your desert model I'll keep the additional wing-mounts off to add to the 'stealth' aspect. One query please. Did you use the Tamiya main landing gear wheels? Mine look dramatically over-sized and I'm not sure if I like them or not.

Oliver Zwiener Hye Gary , I used everything out of the box , added some scratch and the PJ721130 PJ Production "AH-64 Apache Helikopter-Crew" 😉
Łukasz Gliński Built the Revell version some time ago. Always though Italeri is much better, but it looks the same Matchboxish (Mad Trenchdigger and so forth) 😉
Still, great job on that soapy matter 😄

Gary Kitchen Hi Lukasz I had a look at your Revell one. Your build is great as usual, but that kit looks like a vague replica of the real thing doesn't it. Mad Trenchdigger? Soapy matter??? Confused, you'll have to educate me.

Łukasz Gliński Indeed the Italeri one looks sharper 👍 And it has more rockets included! (for the external mounts)
The Mad Trenchdigger is the infamous person(-s?), who made the recessed panel lines on almost all the Matchbox kits 😄
And some kits have so blurred details, they seem to be carved in soap not styrene 😉

Gary Kitchen Thanks. It's important to pick up the jargon 👍 the trench digging here must have been with bucket excavator. 😄
Adrian Forest Built one of these a couple years ago, and hated it. My fondness for the old PC games guarantees I'll give it another shot some day, maybe even the 1/48 version if I can find it. Incidentally my impression from the family tree on the kit's page is that all the available 1/72 Comanches are simply reboxings of the same Italeri tooling. Is the kit page inaccurate?

Łukasz Gliński Unless you go for the older Revell version, which is even worse (built it!) 😄
Adrian Forest Oh wow. I didn't realise the older Revell Comanche existed. It's horrifying. 😄

Gary Kitchen It started off ok but then every time I touched it I marked it or had to redo something. Just retouching the optical sight thing on the nose and then I'm done.
