Academy 12268 1/48 McDonnell-Douglas AH-64D Longbow Scale Model Kit  [AC-12268]

Academy 12268 1/48 AH-64D Longbow Overview for Scale Modellers

The Academy 1/48 model of the McDonnell-Douglas AH-64D Longbow captures the helicopter's distinctive silhouette and key external details. Hobbyists will recognise the Longbow for its radar dome and combat role, and this kit reproduces those visual cues in 1/48 scale for accurate display.

Background and modelling interest

The AH-64D Longbow is an evolution of the Apache with upgraded targeting and survivability features that make it a popular subject among modern military aircraft modellers. The Academy kit provides crisp surface detail so builders can appreciate the aircraft's systems and form while assembling a contemporary military subject.

Assembly notes and display considerations

Targeted at intermediate to advanced modellers, this kit requires careful fit and alignment, especially around the rotor assembly and radar dome. When painted and finished, the completed model makes a strong display piece that emphasises the AH-64D Longbow's combat-ready stance and rotor profile.
