Meng 1/35 AH-64D Saraf

November 1, 2025 · in Aviation · · 16 · 277

A complex and a challenging build. Meng's Saraf is highly detailed both in terms of small part molding and surface texture. Although the fit of parts is very good, the attachment of engine cowlings and canopy may be problematic. The almost unavoidable "swelling" of sub assemblies ruins the precise fit of the covering parts. In the case of canopy, upper rear tab and transparent firewall may require trimming to achieve a good fit.
