1/144 AH-64 Apache Helicopter - Zvezda

1/144 AH-64 Apache Helicopter - Zvezda
First sight of the new Apache from Zvezda. The price is more than is 2-3 times the cost of the aircraft released so for. So unless they have upped their game on the quality and detailing of the kits this seems a bit overpriced. On this basis  it will be cheaper to by the Revell versions (although, I concede that might not be up to the rigours that wargaming subjects a model to?) http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ZVE7408   Lets hope this is a pricing error on the hannants site?

The other recent 'Art of Tactic' wargaming series aircraft kits come out from Zvezda have been very reasonable. Interestingly they seem to be branding the cold war series items as "Hot War".

been looking forward to the Battle and Hs 126. Glad to see they are going nto make an appearance. Odd about the price. I hope it means a better quality model, otherwise the price jump might kill this line.
