Academy AH-64D Block II 1/72 Scale Model Kit

Academy AH-64D Block II 1/72 Scale Model Kit brings AH-64D Block II to your workbench in 1/72 scale. The Apache’s tandem cockpit, narrow fuselage and rotor system offer a concentrated helicopter detailing project.

Planning the build

Plan access to the cockpit before joining the fuselage. Check the main landing-gear stance and rotor alignment before adding fragile external parts.

Working in 1/72 scale

In this scale, clean alignment and controlled paint layers have a strong effect on the display. Compare the model with companion subjects in the same scale, then judge shading and markings from the normal viewing distance. Keep fine details clear by testing how much paint, wash and final finish you need.

Painting and markings

Choose the marking option in the instructions before selecting colors. Test the primer and base color on a spare piece, then compare any panel wash or highlight against that sample. Plan masks for glazing and sharp color boundaries before the final assembly makes access more difficult.
