Academy 12514 - 1/72 AH-64D Block Early Version Model Kit Details

The Academy 1/72 AH-64D Block 'Early Version' is a compact kit that captures the character of the early Block D Apache. It is aimed at enthusiasts who want an accurate small-scale representation without excessive complexity.

Accuracy of Moulded Features

Moulded parts show defined panel lines and structural cues representative of the AH-64D. The rotor components, tail boom and fuselage detail are modelled to allow a convincing assembly when parts are cleaned and fitted.

Construction and Finishing

Suitable for modellers with intermediate experience, the kit benefits from careful dry-fitting and neat glue application. The plastic construction holds detail well and requires paint and adhesives to complete to display standard.

Suitability for Collections

This 1/72 Apache is a good match for display cabinets or shelf groupings with other 1/72 military aircraft, offering a historically recognisable subject in a compact footprint.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue

Yes, the 1/72 scale keeps the model compact while still showing recognisable details, making it ideal for limited display space.
With fine brushes or an airbrush, painting is manageable. Use thin coats to avoid filling panel lines and preserve small details.
Some aftermarket suppliers offer 1/72 enhancements; check compatibility for early Block D Apaches before purchasing upgrades.
Basic modelling tools like a hobby knife, fine files, plastic cement and paintbrushes are sufficient. Precision tweezers can help with small parts.
