KA-64

[RP1]

Evening 'all.

Having not gone near plastic, cement or blade for 8 years I've started on something I used to sketch as a youngster - An Apache with a co-axial ABC rotor system and retractable main gear.

As I have said before, I live in a wallpapered dungeon, so I've got to model small.  This is built from one of those nasty Revel Mini-Kits, so it's at 1/230 scale (approximately), which is about 2 inches long - it looks like a toy because it is, frankly.

I need to clean it up a bit, score some panel lines and paint the thing.  Ive got a whole series of these planned - the other AH-64 will beome a tilt-jet thingy, another will become a CRW (Canard-Rotor-Wing) concept.

I was going to do a load of KGV variants in 1/1200 scale (Like battlecruisers, the original 12 gun design, a post war assult ship), but it's no longer available, peasants.

Nicely done! I love the teensy stuff.  

Wait a bit..., you said 1/230th scale? AHA! you're trying to go after my 1/220th Transall, ain't ya?!  ^_^

Very nice!!  And very small too...  Where's my magnifying glass?

Good job!

Nice model  and great name, so logical, mixing Ka(mov) for coaxial rotor and AH-64 for Apache. Logic, smart!

I'm always stunned when people turn out great looking models in these "teeny little" scales - great work

Great stuff, heck of an idea. Also, really love the CGi work. Those ships especially !
