Italeri 1/72 AH-64 D Apache Longbow - Precise scale modelling project

The AH-64 D Apache Longbow is a hallmark of modern attack helicopter design, noted for its advanced radar and weapons layout. This Italeri 1/72 scale kit captures the helicopter's profile and offers a rewarding build for hobbyists who enjoy accurate military subjects and careful assembly.

Background and significance in aviation

Introduced in the 1990s, the AH-64 D with Longbow radar brought a step change in target acquisition and battlefield awareness. Model builders benefit from studying its structure and electronics layout when recreating details at this scale, gaining a practical sense of the aircrafts engineering advances.

Assembly notes and display potential

The Italeri kit assembles into a model roughly 21 cm long, reproducing the Longbow radar dome and external stores. Constructed from PS plastic, it is a glue-required kit with paint and finishing left to the modeller, making it a great addition to a display shelf or diorama focused on modern rotary wing platforms.

Yes, the kit ships with decal sheets for national markings and stencils so you can add authentic surface detail during finishing.
The radar dome and its mounting are represented in the kit geometry, giving a faithful visual match at 1/72 scale though internal electronics are not modelled.
Use polystyrene cement or cyanoacrylate for assembly. For paint, enamel or acrylic model paints provide durable finishes; thin coats and an undercoat improve final detail.
