Full build step by step of Italeri's 1/72 scale AH-64 Apache helicopter. Not every model is going to go the way I hope, and this was one of them. With life being busy, this was one I simply wanted to finish with minimal effort. That happens sometimes and it's okay. I still enjoyed getting to see it completed and learned things along the way.

I felt your pain watching you put that Apache together. I’m currently working on a very old Revelle UH-1D Huey, and boy howdy is it a chore. I want to make it a medevac with one of the engine cowlings open. It’s not made for that and doesn’t have a very detailed engine. I am a military helicopter mechanic by trait and crewed Hueys for years. I know what the engines have to look like, so I cut the cowling off and am currently building up the lifeless engine. I enjoy watching you work, so keep them coming.

P. S. If you ever need references for a UH-60L Blackhawk, let me know. I’m currently working on medevac and Ranger Bn aircraft at Ft Benning (Moore), and can get you plenty.

Thanks for watching. That's an excellent trade to be in, and making a medivac helicopter sounds awesome! Sounds like you're going all out on the details. I do have a couple Hasegawa Blackhawks to build, but I think one is an HH-60D and the other is an SH-60J.

Wouldnt be so hard on yourself. I know it can be common in model threads/communities for people to have pretty sanctified opinions on others work. But honestly each kit is a journey it's not always in a straight line, but there's something to be learned, turning a miss on one kit in to future hit on the next one is part of it. @scaleffect

Well I will tell you that you are not the 1st nor the last in feeling like it not worth it on a kit that gives you fits.sometimes it is just best to pack it up and start another one that has less issues.i have done that a many of times and then go back and finish it.when that happens then it becomes a joy to build.also the more you scratch build the more your skills will improve.

Agreed, not every kit feels worth putting tons of effort into.
