The AH-64 Longbow Apache is an American attack helicopter, originally developed by Hughes Helicopters (now Boeing). It is well-known for its advanced weapon systems, radar, and high damage resistance. Its distinctive feature is the above-rotor FCR radar, which enables it to detect and designate targets in almost any weather conditions. The AH-64 helicopter entered service in the late 1980s, at the peak of the Cold War. It has been used by the US Army in numerous conflicts—from Operation Desert Storm, through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to peacekeeping and counter-terrorism missions. In addition to the USA, it is also operated by the armed forces of, among others, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Israel, and Japan.

The kit is made of high-quality plastic, ensuring precision in execution and easy processing of parts. The model includes the helicopter’s weaponry (including Hellfire missiles and M230 cannon), a pilot’s cockpit with details, and an authentic rotor and undercarriage layout. The kit does not include glue or paints; these accessories must be purchased separately.
