Master 1:72 Detail Set: M230 30mm Gun Barrel, Pitot Tubes, and Antenna for AH-64 Apache
The Master 1:72 detail set is a precise modeling accessory designed to significantly enhance the realism and detail of 1/72 scale AH-64 Apache attack helicopter models. This set includes key external components that are often simplified or less detailed in standard plastic model kits.
Key Product Features
Precise M230 30mm Gun Replica: The M230 gun barrel is crafted from turned metal, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and sharp detail in 1/72 scale. This material guarantees greater durability and a superior representation of fine elements compared to plastic parts.
Realistic Pitot Tubes: The set includes faithful reproductions of Pitot tubes, critical avionics components essential for measuring aircraft speed. Their precise execution significantly enhances the model's authenticity.
Detailed Antenna: An additional antenna, precisely replicating its real helicopter counterpart, contributes to the comprehensive and realistic appearance of the finished model.
Enhanced Realism: These components offer a significantly higher level of detail and sharpness compared to standard parts from plastic model kits, eliminating the need to clean mold lines or imperfections.
Durability and Ease of Assembly: Metal parts are more resistant to mechanical damage than their plastic counterparts, increasing the durability of the final model. The set is designed for easy integration with existing models.
Compatibility
The Master 1:72 detail set is specifically designed for 1/72 scale plastic models of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. It is engineered as a direct replacement or enhancement for existing parts, facilitating easy installation and integration with most commercially available AH-64 Apache model kits.
Recommended Paint Colors (for the AH-64 Apache Model)
While this detail set does not require specific paint colors, as it complements the main model, below are typical paint colors used for the AH-64 Apache helicopter that will be complementary to the installed details:
Main Fuselage: Dominated by shades of dark green (e.g., FS 34031 European I Green / Olive Drab) or grey (e.g., FS 36118 Gunship Grey), depending on the helicopter variant and operational period.
Metal Details/Engines: Metallic colors (e.g., aluminum, steel, bronze) for engine exhausts, rotor blades, and certain mechanical components.
Canopy/Windows and Sensors: Transparent elements with accents of black or very dark grey.
It is always recommended to check the specific painting scheme for your chosen AH-64 Apache variant to achieve the highest authenticity.
