Forces of Valor 84003 1:48 U.S. AH-64D APACHE LONGBOW

The Boeing AH-64 Apache™ is a four-blade, twin-engine attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement, and a tandem cockpit for a two-man crew.

The AH-64 Apache™ features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems.  It is armed with a 30-millimeter (1.2 in) M230 Chain Gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage.  It has four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons, typically carrying a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods.  The AH-64 has a large amount of systems redundancy to improve combat survivability.  The first production AH-64D Apache Longbow™, an upgraded version of the original Apache™, was delivered to the Army in March 1997 and over one thousand AH-64s have been produced to date.
