5.0 out of 5 stars Umm, it's a book from a model company in a series devoted to, December 18, 2002

model-builders. The purpose of this book is to show all of the nuts and bolts of the Apache for people building model-kits of the helicopter. It does not give technical data or show action shots, rather it is an exhaustive photo-collection of the Apache. It does that very well. It's a good buy for anyone building a model of the Apache who wants to super-detail the heck out of it.

The color pictures in this book are very good. Pictures of all sides, the front gun, rotor and engine details, even some of maintenance hatches open and removed if you really want to get crazy with detail. It's a thin book, but it's wall to wall color pictures. Before I bought the book I downloaded pictures from all over the net and those never came close to the pictures in this book.
