Another Roban 700 AH-64D Apache

[AtomicFrawg]

Well I picked up a Grey Apache for a price I could not turn down.



End goal but not as weathered and Im leaving the exhaust straight.

Started pulling sensors off the heli that is not normally found on newer Domestic D models. Adding parts from Fine Scale Modela and My own 3D printed items.

looking nice! subscribed 👍
i got the green one and loved this beast! already hovered and adjusted so everything is running smooth. now im going to add details from fine scale modela and then going to paint it, but im still looking for the correct color...

[AtomicFrawg]

There really is not a correct color camo green unless the just rolled it out the paint shop. Closes I could find is rustoleum camo green 2x. I backed it with dark grey 2x primer. It looks very close to the real color.

I have model masters helo green showing up today. I’m waiting to see how close a color match it is to robans factory paint.

looking good, what did you use to glue the pylons onto the wings? I know Rcjetdude filled the wings with foam and used gorilla glue. I was just thinking of cleaning up the pylon and wing pylon area and gorilla glue epoxing it together. Buddy though foamtac might b better.

Bvm hysol for the rocket pods. The hellfire rack are on hold until I figure out how I want to paint them. But I'll probably just hysol those on too.

The US Army Helo Drab is a little darker than the stock paint that came on mine.

[Gravythe clown]

Yeah. I just got the paint and looks like I’m going to have to do a full repaint. Oh well I gues I can do some weathering now.

Thats what I did before the camo paint job. It looked good when finished.

Im thinking to try helo drab, cause i want the heli more darker than the stock green, with some shades on it and little weathering... that will look nice, but im moving my home, so im grounded right now

[AtomicFrawg]

[AtomicFrawg]

That color is much darker in real life. The inside lighting does weird stuff to colors. It's why they say weather under inside light. It wont be as bright in natural light.

Looks good to me! Glad to see somebody else has a work area like me!! lol... 6-17 Cav... I see SNAKE EYE in one of their FB pictures

[AtomicFrawg]

Snake Eye won out over Tyron Biggums and Meat Tornado.

I'm getting ready to shoot a matte clear and then possibly chalk pastel wash and another coat of clear today.

IDK... would've been pretty tough to not go with Tyron Biggums lol

[AtomicFrawg]

It would not fit lol
