Italeri 0159 1/72 Scale AH-64 Apache Model Kit - Kit overview

The AH-64 Apache is a benchmark attack helicopter known for its avionics suite and offensive loadout. This Italeri 1/72 kit reproduces the type in miniature with attention to the aircrafts outline and external fittings. It is aimed at experienced modellers and those assembling display collections.

Service history and model accuracy

Brought into service in the 1980s, the Apache was built to support troops with a 30 mm cannon and multi-role missiles including Hellfire for anti-armour duties and Sidewinder variants for air targets. Twin General Electric engines provide the necessary power and responsiveness, aspects the scale model seeks to mirror.

Construction guidance and final scale size

The kit provides parts that represent the helicopters structure and weapon stations, calling for precise trimming and careful assembly. It makes a rewarding project for modellers comfortable with small components, and the finished length is approximately 21 cm, making it suitable for themed displays or individual showcases.
