Hughes AH-64A Apache

Scale:: 1:72
Status:: Completed
Started:: January 1, 1985

Once finished in the late 80s, I had the great idea of refurbishing the kit to deal with some glaring shortcomings (Airframe color, main rotor head, tail rotor, Black Hole exhaust stacks). The project survived a modeling hiatus of more than 10 years and is about 90% complete now (photos to follow)

HI BURKHARD!!! I am doing right now an Overhaul to an Old Matchbox/Revell/Ace one that stopped some five years ago and looking for the versions apropriate for this bird found the Prototype 6 as you did, as per some pics I have found in an Old Booklet in which the bird was seen with some red added details. I have seen that this Hasegawa release has special instructions in the plan, and was wondering which one of the two releases did you used and if would be possible if you can share with me a scan of the whole plan to follow your steps. Thanks a lot in advance for your kind answer.
