DCS: AH-64D Livery Competition


BIGNEWY

Recommended Posts

I'd like to submit my real world skin for British Army Air Corp ZJ171. This was the first Apache Longbow to enter service with the British Army, having been delivered to RAF Yeovilton in December 1999. In 2006 it was assigned to 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps at Wattisham Airfield.
In 2013, ZJ171 was part of the aerial display at Cosford Air Show, crewed by Staff Sergeant Jamie Boakes (Pilot) and Captain Harry Wales (CP/G), better known as Prince Harry.
Original textures (made from the official templates) were used for both tail section texture files (balka 1 and 2) as well as the crew textures.

British Army Air Corps ZJ228 4 Reg

It is described by the British Army as "probably the most sophisticated piece of equipment in the world available to frontline troops".

Designed to find and destroy air defence units, tanks and armoured vehicles, the Apache is capable of a large range of battlefield tasks"Weathered-30.jpgnullWeathered-29.jpgWeathered-35.jpgWeathered-32.jpg

Take to the skies in this not so brand new Apache.

Created a battle-scarred surface for backup. I'm still thinking about the theme, I feel that everyone has already done all the Apache camouflage, so anxious ,It's my first time to participate in the creative competition, everyone is amazing :geek:.

 

I'm dying to fly with this skin.

It was a very enjoyable month of painting.

I am very happy to see the wonderful works of skinners from all over the world.

And thanks to Eagle Dynamics for releasing this great module.

Aloha everyone!
First off, a huge shout out and thanks goes to Alexander in the support team, I hadn't created an account and they helped take care of me so I could post!

This is my first livery I am releasing to the public! It has been an intense past few weeks of me working on this nearly full time! Learned a lot and I am really happy with what i achieved, and I hope you all enjoy this livery as well!

This is a fictional "what if" skin for the 408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron in Canada, based out of Edmonton. I chose this unit because its where I grew up, and seems to fit thematically with where the Canadian Forces would possibly use the Apache. So here is my imagining of what a Canadian version of the AH-64D would look like in use. This uses the colours, markings, and pattern that is commonly used in the Griffon helicopters in use today.

Thank you very much! I hope you all enjoy this skin as much as I have! I hope to see it in public soon!

**Updated: I added the squadron logo to the engine cowlings**

Hi, I have updated the Skin with some details, mostly corrections and painting some screws, although this is an eternal task.
