1:35 AH-64E late Apache unfolded main rotor, late blades, MUMT, AN/APG-78 Longbow for Takom/Snowman kit

Reskit 1:35 AH-64E late Apache, unfolded main rotor with late blades and Longbow (for Takom/Snowman)

This item is not a model of the helicopter but a 3D-printed resin detail set from Reskit for the plastic kits of the AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopter in 1:35 scale from Takom and Snowman. The set brings an unfolded (spread) main rotor with late blades and the AN/APG-78 Longbow radar. It is developed for the late E version, which uses upgraded composite blades different from the early form.

What the set is for

It replaces the main rotor from the original kit and adds the Longbow radar. The base Apache kit from Takom or Snowman has to be obtained separately. Mind the version of the blades: this set has late (composite) blades for the AH-64E; for the early A/D/E versions with the original blades there is a separate set intended for Meng kits.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts carefully from the supports, wash them in warm water with detergent and clean them up. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Unify the blades with primer and matte black; pigments and a fine wash will add leading edge wear and dust.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the AH-64E in 1:35 from Takom or Snowman
• Those who want an unfolded rotor with late blades and the Longbow radar in greater detail
• More experienced builders with experience of resin and 3D printing

This is an accessory for a model: the package contains neither the helicopter kit nor glue or paints.
