Watch how I build an Apache Helicopter Model inflight and let it fire a rocket.
You will find more of my models here:    / @scalerdan  

============================
Academy's Boeing AH64D Block II Apache kit in 1/72 scale has great detail and builds well out of the box. The Apache shown carries markings from the A1227 ATKHB 'Avengers' in Iraq 2003.

To make things a little more interesting I wanted to show the model in flight and built a small display base. Launching a Hellfire missile adds dynamism to the model and was easier to implement than I thought. I used figures from PJ Productions which fit perfectly in the cockpit.

The notsocolorful color scheme was airbrushed using Hataka's C067 US Army Helicopter Drab (FS 34031). The dark colors definitely need some help with oils, filters and pigments to bring out some highlights and shadows.

All in all a very satisfying build that I can only recommend. Enjoy the build, paint and weathering process and feel free to leave a comment.
