Hey guys,
So like just about everyone else in here I picked up a Tru Heros Apache at Toys 'R' Us to make a Dragonfly. Nothing special, but I think it looks good. I thought it turned out so well that I decided to do a second and make it a Locust only instead of making it solid tan I based it off of the Israeli AH-64 Petan/Saraf camo. I used several from this page as a base. AH-64 Apache Family - Attack Helicopters | Scale Rotors Overall I really like them both even though they are pretty simple. Let me know what you think. P.S. Sorry the pics aren't the greatest. My camera broke so I had to resort to the Iphone. Last edited by Whargoul44; 03-09-2013 at 04:10 PM.. |

These both look fantastic! I have been on the fence about buying an Apache due to a lack of display space, but now I might be forced to figure something out! The paint apps are perfect!

It's hard to believe those are from the True Heroes Apache. Great job!

Fantastic work! How well do the ME Style figs fit in this bad boy? Got a shot with Wild Bill & Airborne?

Well, the cockpit is a little tight, side to side. The carded Wild Bill won't fit because of the holsters on his legs, but the Tiger Force one fits perfectly in the back seat (the pilot sits in the back in the Apache I believe). The front is a little challenging. You need a fig with nothing on his legs, and preferably nothing on his lower back, pouches, etc. I was able to fit a Trip Wire in and he fit perfectly. I haven't tried Airborne yet, but I'll dig him out and give it a try.

You just convinced me I need one of these!

I hear you man, originally I left it as is, but it didn't look quite right, IE like crap, at least in my opinion. It would have been a hell of a lot easier had they at least molded the canopy frame though.
