AH-64 Apache M230 Chain Gun (in Fly Position) for Trumpeter kit (3D Printed) Scale 1:35 ResKit RSU35-0072 for Helicopters Model Kit

ResKit RSU35-0072 represents the M230 chain gun installed on the AH-64 Apache, configured in the fly position for a clean operational stance in 1/35. The set focuses on the gun housing shape, barrel alignment, and mounting geometry visible beneath the helicopter nose.

Aftermarket accessory intended for helicopter scale model kits and miniature replicas, designed to reproduce the external gun assembly with finer detail than simplified kit parts.

Precision components developed for accurate 1/35 scale helicopter model builds, produced with high-resolution printing to keep the gun structure and mounting bracket geometry consistent.

This upgrade is designed for the Trumpeter AH-64 Apache kit and represents the gun assembly positioned forward in the typical fly configuration, improving the visual definition of the nose-mounted turret area.

For modelers: test-fit the gun housing and mounting bracket before final assembly to ensure proper alignment under the fuselage nose. Paint the barrel and housing separately, then assemble the turret to preserve crisp edges and avoid paint buildup in small recesses.

FAQ

What does “fly position” mean for the M230 chain gun?

The fly position represents the forward-oriented alignment of the gun typically seen when the helicopter is displayed in a neutral configuration.

Is this set designed specifically for the Trumpeter AH-64 kit?

Yes, it is intended for the Trumpeter AH-64 Apache kit in 1/35 scale. Dry-fitting is recommended before final installation.

What is the best order for painting the assembly?

Paint the barrel and main housing separately before attaching them to the mounting structure. This helps preserve detail and keeps paint from filling small recessed areas.
