Your welcome😉
I like the Australian Tiger, I am looking for the decals in 48, but no chance to get them, also in 72 it is more than impossible.
Looking forward to the endresult 🙂

That looks very well, did you have to convert the HB kit a lot?

How do you realize the FZ 70 mm rocket pod ?

Ash, thanks a lot for the link 🙂 Still having an eye on the conversion set, but the shipment is a bit high from australia, maybe in a couple of months i will have it 🙂

Dietmar Kollmann, I bought the Italeri AH-64D 1/72 kit and used the missiles racks and the rocket pods from that kit for this build.

Łukasz Gliński, the only modification I've made is to use the mounting rail from the HB kit so the missile racks and rocket pods from a Italeri AH-64D kit I have in my stash can attach the wings.

Łukasz Gliński
Do you mean the HB kit is rather accurate? (I find this bit surprising, you know😉 )

thraxjor
Łukasz Gliński, no the kit is not very accurate, missing details with panel lines compared to reference material that came with the 3rd party decal pack, missing counter measures pack for the tail section and wing tips.

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks, this sounds less surprising now 😄
