British 1/48 Hasegawa Apache Helicopter : Afghanistan

Post by laurie »

Lovely Model to build. Incredible helicopter.

Learnt a lot about it reading a great book about two buddy crews in Afghanistan. Apache Dawn by Damien Lewis. A really good read. He took the stories from the two crews and their logs.

Amazing ordnance it carries. I had known about lazer targeting but the pilot can actually look at a target and fire off his weapons using the eyes as a marker.

Should explain that this is part of a diorama. All the British aircraft and vehicles used in Afghanistan that I can locate at 1/48. Works out at about 14. Must be on the 8th or 9 th at the moment a Snatch Landrover.
