Italeri 0159 1/72 Scale AH-64 Apache Model Kit - Scale replica summary

The AH-64 Apache stands out in modern military aviation for its cutting-edge systems and potent armament. This Italeri 1/72 scale kit lets hobbyists reproduce that iconic attack helicopter with careful attention to proportion and surface detail. Intended for both collectors and hands-on builders, the set highlights the Apache's signature profile and combat role.

Combat role and authentic detailing

Entering service in the 1980s, the AH-64 Apache was designed to provide close support to ground troops, mounting a 30 mm rapid-fire cannon and compatible missile loads such as Hellfire for anti-armor missions and Sidewinder for air targets. Twin General Electric engines give the type its notable power and agility, attributes that the kit aims to represent at scale.

Build notes and finished display size

This Italeri kit offers an engaging assembly process that rewards attention to small components and rigging. Parts are molded to capture the helicopter's structure and weapon fitments, delivering a satisfying challenge for modelers with some experience. The completed model measures about 21 cm in length, making it a compact but striking display subject.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Length: 21 cm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit includes many small and detailed parts, so it is better suited to modelers who have handled a few glue-and-paint projects before. Beginners can complete it but should expect a learning curve.
Decals for accurate markings are included, but paints and adhesives are not supplied and must be purchased separately.
Some parts allow rotor positioning before final gluing, but permanent fixing is common for display models. Check sub-assembly instructions to decide your finishing method.
Fine hobby knives, tweezers, model glue, and sanding tools are recommended. Experience with small decals and paint layering will improve the final appearance.
