The set combines resin parts with photo-etched components for the exhaust area, where depth, edges, and alignment can be noticeable on a finished helicopter model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set focuses on the exhaust pipe assembly as a standalone upgrade and can help keep the left and right sides consistent around the engine nacelle area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe AH-64 family includes visible differences in external fittings across versions and kit toolings. Use this set to support the configuration you are building, and confirm placement against your chosen references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor modelers:\u003c\/strong\u003e dry-fit the exhaust parts to the fuselage openings before painting, and check symmetry from top and rear views. If your kit has shallow locating points, add a small backing plate inside the opening to improve contact. Form the photo-etched parts with a round tool for a smooth curve, then install the exhaust subassemblies late in the build to reduce handling damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e AH-64 Apache exhaust pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariant \/ Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e AH-64 Apache family (fit and placement are kit-dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/72 (also written as 1:72)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detail Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType of equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helicopter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e for Any \/ Universal 1\/72 AH-64 Apache kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metallic Details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ukraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photo-etched metal, resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e MDR7222\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is part of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metallic-details\"\u003eMetallic Details\u003c\/a\u003e and belongs to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aftermarket\"\u003eAftermarket\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/exhaust\"\u003eExhaust\u003c\/a\u003e.
