 +I've had this kit in a box of unbuilt models for more than 20 years... one of these days I'll eventually get around to building it. However, there are a couple of issues to deal with first:
 +
 +   * I misplaced the original waterslide decals
 +   * The interior of the cockpit and the weapon bays/wheel wells are quite plain
 +   * There are no pilot figures included!
 +
 +==== Aftermarket Parts ====
 +
 +Since the Revell kit is pretty bare-bones (and I lost the original decals) I decided to improve things a little with some additional parts and decals bought in December 2025.
 +
 +   * Quinta Studio 1/48 AH-64E 3d decals for interior
 +   * Airfix 1/48 AH-64 APACHE 07101 decals
 +   * Microscale 1/48 AH-1G/J "King Cobra" decals
 +   * [[:blog:military:sikorsky_black_hawk_crew|ICM 1/48 Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk crew]]
