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

The Academy 1/72 AH-64D Block 'Early Version' kit gives modellers a faithful small-scale Apache to assemble and display. It highlights the early Block D silhouette and core structural cues that make the helicopter recognisable.

Detailing and Scale Faithfulness

Parts are moulded to convey the Apache's distinctive features at 1/72 scale, including rotor details and fuselage shaping. The cockpit area allows for a realistic impression of flight controls and instrument panels when painted and fitted.

Build Difficulty and Tips

Expect a medium difficulty build that rewards patience. The plastic parts are robust but require careful trimming and test fitting for accurate joint lines. Glue and paint are necessary to finish the model to a display standard.

Collecting and Display Notes

This finished model fits well into compact collections and dioramas, offering a historically recognisable subject in a scalable size for group displays with other 1/72 kits.
