A great kit..
Kit Rating: 9 / 10 ( There are some parts you’ll have to scratchbuild, other than that the kit is excellent! Good fit, nice detail) Decal Rating: 9 / 10 (The decals are a bit thick, but goes on nicely with a drop of Klear) Paint Rating: 6 / 10 (I used Revell enamels, as that was the most accurate colour shades I could find! I prefer to ue Humbrol) Music: Get a move on, by Jason Shaw @ audionautix.com Modellers wants YouTubers, by GerbilEssences Info from Wikipedia All photos and videoclips by BasicModelling (All Rights Reserved) Enjoy…

@MarcianoMMA Not surprised really, as they’re always in the thick of the action..

I love how Apaches always look dirty.

@fmcVlad True, the Apache has seen a lot of combat.. and has proven itself, especially the British improved version (Westland Apache Longbow AH-1), which has more powerful engines and a better self defence system than the US original… I have the old Matchbox kit, plus the Airfix Lynx used by the Royal Navy.. sadly I have no spare decals at the moment, or I would have sent you some!

@BasicModelling Yes, this is good helicopters, but they are not at war. Perhaps Mil-24, he has combat service as a veteran.
I have a 1:72 Lynx from Frog. I want to build it, but I do not have decals to it.

@fmcVlad The Lynx is a great helicopter, but more used for transport these days, I think.. I think the Kamov 50 & 52 are more in line with the Apache..

good model! Apache is perhaps the most combat helicopter in the world. may only Lynx with him can compete.

Good.. Have checked out your channel earlier and subscribed.. and when I have a spare minute I will come back and check some of your videos..
You have some good stuff!
#8 written by mrunalize July 20th, 2010 at 00:10
certainly with full pleasure my friend
#9 written by BasicModelling July 20th, 2010 at 00:29
I see.. I should really try that sometime.. In the meantime please watch my other 150 odd videos of me taking things out the boxes and gluing them together..
Ha ha ha ha..
#10 written by mrunalize July 20th, 2010 at 01:00
ohh buddy how shall i explain u mann i want to to open the box take out all the stuff and show it to us how u make it HAND MADE u join the pieces together and make a video out of it bro
#11 written by BasicModelling July 20th, 2010 at 01:05
Not quite sure what you mean.. This IS the video of me making the Apache..
#12 written by mrunalize July 20th, 2010 at 01:08
thats an apache helicopter 1 of the most expensive helicopters on planet
do they also make sea kits like if u wish to make a war ship and stufff
the work this suppose to be done takes a lot of details and accuracy please make a video bro while u making it i want to see how u make it cause this sems very complicated
#13 written by BasicModelling July 20th, 2010 at 01:31
Thank you… I sure hope you’re doing ok…
Good to see you again…
#14 written by timrocket007 July 20th, 2010 at 02:10
nice build
if ur wondering i have been in mental hospital for 2 months and im getting discharged on friday
#15 written by BasicModelling July 20th, 2010 at 02:37
It is not the most beautiful of helicopters..
#16 written by AlanMartinNala July 20th, 2010 at 03:28
Hasegawa has the ability of making magnificent models with easy-to-follow instructions. Very well recommended for both model beginners and experts
I like this scale Apache far better than the real thing (I´m afraid I always found the Apache awful; effective as it may be as a combat copter >:/
#17 written by BasicModelling July 20th, 2010 at 03:32
Sure will…
There’s some interesting videos posted on YouTube, showing what it is capable of..
#18 written by BasicModelling July 20th, 2010 at 04:18
Most likely..
#19 written by Doge139 July 20th, 2010 at 04:55
only difference between to alpha model and the delta is that everything went digital and got heavier..
the alpha model can still out manuver the delta anytime anywhere.

if that bird wants you its gonna have you no doubt about it it will hunt you down
#21 written by BasicModelling July 20th, 2010 at 05:33
It’s not easy to say.. but I wouldn’t be surprised if the 1/72 HobbyBoss kit has got more detail than THIS kit, if their Cobra kit is anything to go by.. The Academy kit is supposed to be good as well, or so I have been told.. but I enjoyed this kit, and even though there’s a few little bits missing, it’s not a bad kit.. and scratchbuilding is fun! I will add some handles / steps to it later, as they’re missing too..
#22 written by svinehunden July 20th, 2010 at 06:25
i wanna build a apache in 1/72 very soon and paint it with regular brushes… you have tried many different versions. which one do you think have most/best details?
#23 written by Tuberglue July 20th, 2010 at 06:59
Definetely..
#24 written by BasicModelling July 20th, 2010 at 07:07
I really should stop commenting on my own videos, shouldn’t I?
