WAH-64D Apache Longbow (v2.1.0)

The WAH-64 is the British Army version of the Boeing Ah-64D Apache Longbow. Manufactured by AgustaWestland in Britain, the WAH features several upgrades over its counterparts including uprated engines and alterations to fit British requirements. British Apaches all feature the Longbow radar - housed in the dome above the rotors - making Britain the only country to possess a fully Longbow equipped Apache fleet.

 

A typical armament consists of 8 Hellfire missiles and 2 rocket pods under the wing stubs and a 30mm cannon under the chin. The helicopter also features a comprehensive defensive suite.

 

Britain chose the Apache over the Eurocopter Tiger, Agusta Mangusta, SuperCobra and Commanche, and has flown since 2002 in British hands.

 

This is my second rendition of the iconic helicopter and benefits from two years' more experience, patience and ability with the brick. This is a complete re-build and only a few components have been recycled. Try and find them, why don't you?

 

For v2.1.0 I've completely re-modelled the tail boom to give it the proper Apache shape, while still maintaining reasonable structural integrity.

 

Instructions for sale at £7.50 or foreign equivalent.
