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

The Academy 1/72 AH-64D Block 'Early Version' model kit captures the early Block D configuration in a manageable 1/72 package. It is suited to builders who enjoy accurate small-scale replicas with clear assembly sequences.

Exterior Detail and Fit

Parts are produced to show the AH-64D's defining lines and external fittings. The rotor assembly, tail section and fuselage panels are molded to give a realistic profile once assembled and painted.

Construction Experience

This kit sits at a moderate skill level, calling for careful part handling and alignment. Moulded components are durable, and with proper preparation the joins can be made neat for a clean finished model. Glue and paint are required to complete the build.

Display Potential

The finished 1/72 Apache is compact and displays well on a shelf or within a themed group of military aircraft. Its scale makes it simple to mix with other 1/72 kits for comparative display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for finishing
Fine brushwork on the instrument panels and seats plus a light wash for definition will bring the small cockpit details to life at 1/72 scale.
The kit release includes decals to apply authentic markings representative of the early AH-64D variants.
Yes, thinning paints for airbrushing or using multiple light brush coats helps preserve fine surface detail without obscuring panel lines.
No display stand is listed as included; many builders use aftermarket stands or simple supports to pose the model for presentation.
Apply washes and drybrushing sparingly to retain panel detail while adding realistic wear and shading to the finished model.
