Academy 12262 - 1/48 AH-64A Apache Hobby Kit  [AC-12262]

What the Academy 1/48 AH-64A Model Offers

This Academy 1/48 scale kit recreates the McDonnell-Douglas AH-64A Apache with attention to the aircraft's silhouette and visible details. The parts layout supports a tidy build aimed at display quality results.

Background and Prototype Traits

The AH-64A served as a capable twin-engine attack helicopter, and the model captures essential traits like the rotor arrangement and fuselage proportions to reflect the original's appearance.

Kit Layout and Assembly Tips

Components are injection moulded and include a well appointed cockpit area, rotor assemblies, and basic weapon fittings. Builders are advised to follow fit checks and dry assembly to ensure alignment of the rotor and tail components.

Finished Model and Display Advice

After painting and finishing, the model presents strongly alongside other 1/48 military subjects. Using a small base or simple vignette can enhance display impact without complex diorama work.
