Airfix J6004 Apache Helicopter & J6003 BAe Hawk Aircraft Quick Build Model Kit (Black)

Model Overview

The Apache helicopter and the BAe Hawk aircraft are two recognisable military types representing attack helicopter and jet trainer roles. This Airfix Quick Build set brings both subjects to the workbench as easy-to-assemble push-fit scale model aircraft kits, each supplied with a display stand and decorative stickers to complete a striking pair for display.

About the Manufacturer

Historical Background

The Apache helicopter has become emblematic of modern attack helicopters, operated by several armed forces for reconnaissance and strike missions. The BAe Hawk is a widely used British-designed jet trainer that has served many air arms as a fast jet trainer and light attack platform. Together they represent two complementary roles in military aviation history: frontline attack capability and advanced pilot training.
