ACADEMY 12551 1/72 US AH-64D Apache Block II Late Ver.

Model Kit

A replacement for the AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter, the Boeing AH-64 Apache was designed in the 1970s and improved virtually every aspect of its predecessor. With enhanced lethality and combat sustainability, the Apache is still one of the most capable attack aircraft ever produced and has seen continuous improvement over its span of service. Depicted in this kit is the updated version of the Apache AH-64D, used extensively during the Gulf War and in 2003. It is a versatile and highly advanced helicopter with the ability to track up to 1,000 targets, identify 128 enemies, and carry an armament of up to 16 Hellfire missiles. The kit contains transparent and plastic parts ready for a faithful recreation of the late version of the AH-64D with four finishing options in 1/72 scale. The fully assembled model is 24.7cm long and 6.8cm tall.
