Italeri 0159 1/72 Scale AH-64 Apache Model Kit - Product brief

The AH-64 Apache is widely recognised for its advanced systems and combat capability. This Italeri 1/72 model kit recreates that helicopter in scale, emphasising accurate external features and armament positions. The kit is aimed at hobbyists and collectors who appreciate a realistic small-scale representation.

Operational background and scale fidelity

Emerging in the 1980s to meet battlefield support needs, the Apache is armed with a 30 mm fast-firing cannon and carries missile loads such as Hellfire for ground targets and Sidewinder for aerial threats. Its twin General Electric powerplants provide the necessary power and manoeuvrability, traits the model reflects in proportion and detail.

Construction notes and display potential

Builders will find the Italeri mouldings provide clear panel lines and weapon mounts that require careful assembly. The kit suits modellers who enjoy precise work and produces a clean finished model at about 21 cm long, ideal for cabinet displays or diorama scenes.
