Piececool AH-64 Apache Helicopter

Piececool metal model kits are a wonderful challenge for model builders who enjoy piecing together models but would rather not have to worry about gluing pieces or painting the final model. Each Piececool model comes with flat stainless steel metal sheets from which the metal parts of the model can be pressed out.

It’s worth noting that some of the pieces are very small and intricate, so some care and at times, a steady hand is required to press them out from the sheet and fold their tabs in order to piece them together. It’s recommended that the Piececool tool set is purchased along with the model, or any flat nose pliers would do.

The Boeing Apache AH-64 is an American attack helicoper, first developed as the Model 77 in 1975 – the Apache AH-64 variant first went into production in 1984. Although primarily operated by the US Army, the Apache AH-64 has become the primary attack helicopter of many nations across the world. As a consquence of modern deployments, the model has featured in modern media – for example in the 1992 game ‘Desert Strike’ and in films such as ‘The Incredible Hulk’ and ‘GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra’.

This wonderfully detailed model from Piececool comes in 145 pieces, as an intermediate difficulty metal model. It makes a great gift for adults and aviation enthusiasts alike and the finished model stands at 24cm x 19cm x 9.5cm. While the small metal pieces are intricate and require some care to assemble, they come laser etched in black decal to result in a lovely, realistic model.
