Thanks for the help guys.

They only make models of the Longbow in 1/72 and 1/48 way too small to scale off of. I need more pics of the fire control radar.

Any of you military guys have any more pics of it. There looks to be 2 different kinds of the radome. One with a few probes and linkages sticking out at the bottom and another with a bolted on sleeve. The bolted sleeve looks to be a little easier to fab.

What is on the hub of the BBI Apachee now ?

Can anybody giveme a few pics of the present hub with a few measurements ? Or can somebody pop theirs off and send it to me so I can make sure my radome will fit it ?

I'm assuming you need pictures and measurements of the hub on the BBI Apache. I have one disassemble and will try to get you pictures and measurements by the end of the weekend. You want that in inches or millimeters? With or without fries....?

A couple of things on this. The first guy to send me a prop hub of his Apachee will get the first radome as a deal.

YOU WILL GET YOUR PROP HUB BACK.

Second thing give me a show of hands of the guys who would want this.

I am thinking painted ready to install for about $15.

Give me a show of hands.

If I can get 8 guys to commit I will make it :wink:

I do not understand why BBi did not make it in the first place.

Because the made an Alpha model and not a Delta.

Why they made an A over a D is anyone's guess.

.....geez, just because we get these tickle and come hither looks from the large Chinese-driven suppliers who then never seem to come thru, didnt think we'd rate that same treatment from one of our own... :cry:

You gonna do this? Looks like lots of interest.....

Timing? Cost? Reservations?

Inquiring minds wanna know!
