The first two prototypes of this helicopter were flown on September 30 and November 22, 1975, and named Apache in 1981. The first production Apache helicopter flew in January, 1984, with first deliveries exactly one year later. This remarkably agile helicopter has four-bladed main and tail rotors, stub wing incorporating trailing-edge flaps, and an all-moving tailplane to enhance conventional helicopter controllability. Apaches were used in Operation Just Cause in Panama in 1989, and these helicopters fired the very first shots in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The AH-64D is powered by two 1900-shp General Electric T700-GE-701C turboshafts, giving the helicopter a maximum speed of 192 mph, service ceiling of 20,500 feet, and a maximum range on internal fuel of 380 miles. Helicopter armament: Hughes XM230E1 30-mm automatic cannon in underfuselage turret, plus four hardpoints under stub wings for up to 16 Hellfire anti-tank missiles or seventy-six 70-mm folding-fin rockets, or combinations of the two. All helicopter models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand. Dimensions: -Length, 16" -Scale, 1/36 Item #AM643-AL - Air Corps Price $154.95
