tum orol :), I guess both our fathers were good in it! Johnsan ans Stamford, thanx for the restroration techniques, I never thought about the stretched sprue. I'll use it next time, no more unusually transitioning lines! :) Johnsan, the Apache is ok, but if you put it next to the pictures of new mod WAHs, the plethora of antenaes and dispensers not done by me. I tried to make it as recent as possible, especially in the boom area, where half of features are missing (I really think Italeri just added a radar dome to an A variant and went home for lunch :)) but in the end some of aerials were misses by me, the jolly craftsman :)

Hi ;
Turkish pronunciation : Tam Apaci ( or Tam Apachi ~ ) :lol:

Apache looks very nice. As usual arkadasim ( my friend ) ;-)

Thank You Guys!
Irene the Little is so far much more interactive and responsive than I was ever prepared for by everyone. That is something you may take into account Ural! Nobody and nothing can prepare You for the first contact! Positively knocking out. Other than that ... hmmm, there is nothing else in my scopes now :) (my wife and stepdaughter are of course).
