Italeri 0159 1/72 Scale AH-64 Apache Model Kit - Compact Scale Fighter Helicopter  [IT-0159S]

Overview of the Italeri 0159 1/72 Scale AH-64 Apache Model Kit

The AH-64 Apache is a recognizable attack helicopter noted for its avionics and weapons capability. This Italeri 1/72 kit gives modellers a chance to recreate the aircraft in miniature, focusing on correct lines and external fittings. Suitable for display collectors and experienced hobby builders, the kit models the Apache's operational silhouette.

Role in service and faithful representation

Introduced during the 1980s, the Apache provided robust support to ground formations with a 30 mm automatic cannon and missile armaments, including Hellfire rockets for anti-armor work and Sidewinder-class missiles for air defence. Twin General Electric engines deliver the thrust and responsiveness that the real aircraft is known for.

Assembly tips and final dimensions

The kit delivers finely moulded components that require careful trimming and gluing. It is tailored to those comfortable with small-scale detailing, offering a rewarding build that reproduces the helicopter's structural shapes and stores. When finished, the model is approximately 21 cm long, a neat size for shelf display or mixed aircraft groupings.
