Tamiya 1/72 60707 American attack helicopter Hughes AH-64 Apache

Additional Information

This machine was originally designed as a strike helicopter to support ground forces at any time of the day and in any weather. Also, one of the main functions of the "Apache" is the fight against enemy armored vehicles, which they have repeatedly demonstrated brilliantly in various conflicts.
the Requirements for the new helicopter were initially very strict. An 64 had to fly in the rain and at night, to perform a combat mission, even after being hit by a 12.7 mm bullet, to be able to fly "on instruments" and attack in poor visibility conditions, as well as to ensure the safety of the crew during an emergency landing at a speed of 12.8 m/s. the Helicopter has several modifications. The latest and most advanced of them — an 64D Apache Longbow, the first such machine took off in early 1991.
