What a great scene in the making there.

As far as Apaches go, this is right up there with the Royal Marines on the winglets doing that rescue!

cheers again,

Will have to take more reference photos next time I am at Waiouru!

That would be quite a complex scene to make as the LAV is actually the recovery version. Hmmmm, does someone maufacture a 1:35th scale Apache?

Yes, one was produced a few years back from Korea, it was marketed in Japan under the ARII label, but not sure if was released elsewhere or under another brand. Or if it's still available?

Kangnam (imported in the US as Imex) does an AH-64A and an AH-64D in 1/35. They are pretty horrible though. The D model isn't even a production version and has the wrong shaped sponsons on the sides of the fueslage. It is really just the A model kit with a couple of inaccurate parts slapped on the outside to look like a D model. Both are dimensionally off and the main landing gear legs are way too long, giving it an awkward stance.




Revell does an older AH-64A in 1/32 that is pretty good. It is close enough to 1/35 to work just fine as well. Verlinden and Cobra Company make update sets to bring it up to a pretty current and accurate AH-64A from the mid-2000's.



The Apache in the picture is a D model without the radar dish on top (only about one out of four have the radar dish). There is currently no good D Model Apache in 1/35 or 1/32. It would be quite a bit of work to convert the Revell kit into a D model as well, but it can be done. Here is one guy's conversion of the Revell A model at ARC to see what would be involved.

Well, what can I say. Might be done in 1/72 scale, with MAJOR mod's to trump's LAV-25. But still 'n all. "Good on ya Mate" for savin' an Flyin' Savior!

Thanks for the GREAT Idea/Proof of Hope!
