Currently fictional and conceptual livery for an Australian Army AH-64"E".
May I present my take on the yet to be delivered AH-64E Apache for the 1st Aviation Regiment Australian Army.
In June 2021, the Australian Government selected the AH-64E to replace the ARH Tiger helicopter. Delivery is scheduled to start in 2025.

The Camo layout is based on the conceptual image for the Apache by Boeing

This concept image only covers the left side, so the right side was designed loosely using the ARH Tiger as a reference, and mixing through the top and bottom to align with the left side.
The colours are based on my own research (primarily Model Kit paint codes for other Australian Army helicopters) and are as accurate as I can possibly get. There are no squadron motifs or logos, as there none currently that I know of. The A number (A62) is also just a guess as they have not allocated an A number for the Australian Apaches, so I picked A62 as it is the next logical based on the adf-serials website.
Although the DCS version is the AH-64D Blk II, it is similar to the AH-64E (which started as the AH-64D Blk II), therefore I feel this Livery is suitable. I have updated the serial number and model between the Pilot and CPG to represent the AH-64E.
This Livery was created for the AH-64 Livery competition, therefore, I have only used the files from the Template PSD file, therefore the Pilot and CPG are still in US Camo uniform. I intend to update this at some point.
As this is currently for an as yet delivered aircraft, it is highly likely that the camouflage pattern will change. Once I have accurate reference images to the real thing, I intent to update this livery to be accurate.
Please Enjoy!
