1:35 AH-64 Apache (A,D, E Early, AH Mk.I, DI Saraf) folded main rotor, late blades & fold restraint systems, MUMT, AN/APG-78 Longbow/ADSS for Meng kit

Folded main rotor for the AH-64 Apache (late blades, restraints, Longbow) - 1:35

This is a resin, 3D-printed detail set from ResKit, not a helicopter model. The set holds the main rotor of the AH-64 attack helicopter in the position with the blades folded, together with the elements of the fold restraint system, the late blades, a MUMT antenna and the mast-mounted AN/APG-78 Longbow radar including ADSS elements. It matches machines of the AH-64 series (A, D, E Early), the British AH Mk.I and the Israeli DI Saraf.

The real subject

The Boeing AH-64 Apache is an American attack helicopter with a four-blade main rotor and the characteristic mast-mounted Longbow radar. Folding the blades makes it easier to transport and store the machine. Data-exchange systems allow it to work together with other assets, including unmanned ones.

Fitting and painting

Separate the parts from the print supports, wash and degrease them, and glue them with cyanoacrylate (super) glue. Prime the rotor and the radar and bring out the details with a wash and discreet weathering.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the AH-64 Apache in 1:35
• Builders of dioramas with a helicopter in the transport position
• Anyone interested in a faithful folded rotor with the Longbow radar
• Experienced modelers used to resin

The set is an aftermarket accessory in resin, not a helicopter kit. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package.
