So I can show that I'm not just hanging about and shooting my mouth off all the time. I built this several years ago, and got it posted to Squadron's 'Reviews' page.

I'm quite pleased with the result, but do plan to make a proper US Army RAH-66 with all the mods that were in place at the time of cancellation.

Gotta admit, she looks pretty good in that scheme  :wub:

Great job!  B)

Yeah, I got screwed though - a month after I finished the model, the sand-and-brown camouflaged IDF AH-64's started appearing...if I'd only known!!  <_<

Wierd....now it's working ! Looking good ! Looks like the real thing, great job on the finish. Nice looking birds those, eh ? Too bad about the cancelation......but I could see adding that rotor system to a few other choppers.

Cheers !

Fantastic, clean work, Patrick!  Noticed that the tires/tyres appear to be the same color as the rest of the helo itself and I imagine that must be intentional (i.e. purposely not some normal "rubber" color).  Is this because the tires are made of something unusual or just depicting the dusty conditions of their combat theatre???

Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

Mostly the fact that I am the world's SLOWEST modeller. Great at starting new projects, but never seem to finish anything.............you should see my in-progress 'parking lot'. :blink:
