It was probably the first build that had no major issues. I highly recommend the kit to anyone looking for their next build.

Amazing. For which nation? How did it feel? Let us know some details ❤
Wow really??? I really need to know what parts serve what purpose and all that....

My favorite kit of all time, build 3 of this Apache.I wish it was 1/32 do they have this size at hasegawa?
No I haven’t see Hasegawa make on it that scale. It would be cool if they did.
Georges, make sure you keep it a way from your kids, which I didn't do 😅
I enjoyed every minute of it. liked and subscribed
can you please tell me what is the wrapping stuff used at 20:45?
I’m glad you enjoyed it. The wrapping is a transparent holographic film that has a self adhesive side used to make regular clear glass or plexiglass have a holographic look and still be able to look through it. I applied this to the targeting system part to give it the appearance of the real thing.
@@avion34 Thanks for the detailed answer. It has a great effect.
I tried this effect with the alclad holomatic spectral chrome paint but since the parts are very small, it looked merely like chrome paint.
I appreciate your educational video, again
4:56 Bent paint brush! 😺
Haha I don’t know why but the package of brushes I bought came with one bent so I decided it would be my decal application brush. There is no rhyme or reason it just is. 😄
@@avion34 I would pay 10 times more for a specific “Angled decal brush”! Just knowing it’s a specialty item that costs a lot more would make my models turn out better! A+++++
@@catlady8324 there isn’t anything special happening here LOL
@@avion34 Just because “There isn’t anything special going on here”, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t be sitting on a gold mine! In America, we have an expression “Don’t sell the steak. Sell the sizzle!”. Meaning, If you sell a broken bent brush, you’ll be lucky to get $.50. But if you sell a specialty designed and ergonomically engineered decal brush with 30° seconds angle” you’ll get $10 easy. Well then you’ll have the only game in town! You may have this great idea for free, my friend. Just be nice to the cats! 🐈 🐈⬛
Really great build! May I ask what is that foil that you used to make lenses at around 20:50 ? I am in progress of building my Apache and can't figure out how to make this part :D
It’s a clear self adhesive holographic window film. I got it on Amazon, and I think the roll will last a lifetime.
@@avion34 thanks for the answer! I already bought nail art transfer foil, but will definitely look for your advice
@@kurchees7723 I think that will work well too.
What ratio do you thin your paints down to to airbrush. And which thinner did you use. Just getting into airbrushing so apologies if this is a noob question.
Great question! I used Tamiya acrylic paint on this model thinned with the Tamiya X-20A thinner, and if I remember correctly it was 60%thinner 40% paint. To be honest I kinda mix it by feel. I also sprayed it at 20psi. It’s Important to note that the thinner the mix the lower the air pressure needed.
@@avion34 thanks for the speedy reply and valuable info
@@ChunksXx anytime! What are you currently working on?
I have just finished up a airfix 1/72 eurofighter. Finish wasn’t too bad for my first plastic model in 15 years. (Built a few in my early teens) however this time I’ve decided to take the plunge and learn to airbrush. I have just ordered the hasegawa ah64d 1/48 off the back of this video. Hoping my years in RC helicopters pay off 😅
@@ChunksXx I can’t wait to see your finished build. This is a great kit, and it’s lots of fun to build
Great videos! Link to purchase this item?
I haven't considered selling any of the models, but I will give it some thought.
@@avion34 he is referring to the model itself, not necessarily your model
I got this kit on Amazon
I always want to build a ah 64, but the colour tone is very hard to manage.
Yeah it seems like every reference photo I looked at has a different color. Some very dark green almost black some green and others brown. So I don’t know
@@avion34 There's lots of reasons for that. The color fades very rapidly from the factory's dark green. Oil and hydraulic fluids leech out from the fuselage seams, especially from the center section where most of those systems are. Combined with dust, it makes something like a sludge coating on especially the lower surfaces. Then crews get that on their hands and transfer it to often-handled panels. Washing gets the slidge and fluids mostly off but not the stains. Anti-skid surfaces wear very thin. Fresh dust sticks well to the fluids, into seam lines and around rivets. In short, the Apache makes for a real study in weathering.
Yeah. The Apache is painted in the very difficult non-color of Helo Drab. It changes hue depending on where you view it from. It's like a mix between olive drab and grey. There is an NS code for it, but I think only a couple of manufacturers actually make a version of it.
Very enjoyable video.
NOOB question, why prime if you are just going to paint it black? (Please).
Hey that's a good question. I primed it in black and added a random marbling pattern with white so that when I added the main color I would have a variation in the paint tone to add visual interest to the paint job.
Anybody else watching because they are waiting for ED to release the Apache module :)
I’m really looking forward to that mod.
Very very nice da
Thanks 🙏
