AH-64 Apache M230 Chain Gun (in parking position) for Takom/Academy kit (3D printing) Scale 1:35 ResKit RSU35-0049 for Helicopters Model Kit

ResKit RSU35-0049 provides a detailed M230 chain gun assembly for AH-64 Apache helicopter builds in 1/35 scale, represented in a parking position.

This resin 3D printed aftermarket accessory is intended for helicopter scale model kits and miniature replicas. The set focuses on reproducing the compact geometry of the M230 gun unit, including the mounting cradle and barrel structure, often simplified in standard kit parts.

On the AH-64 Apache the chin-mounted gun assembly is a highly visible component below the forward fuselage. Using a dedicated printed part helps maintain sharp structural detail and more accurate proportions when the helicopter is displayed with the gun in the parked position.

For modelers: remove support points carefully and test-fit the mounting frame to the kit turret housing before painting. Painting the gun barrel and cradle separately can help preserve the fine edges before final installation.

FAQ

Is this M230 gun compatible with both Takom and Academy kits?

The set is designed for 1/35 AH-64 Apache kits from Takom and Academy. Minor adjustments may still be required depending on the kit assembly sequence.

What does the parking position mean?

The gun is represented in the typical parked orientation used when the helicopter is not operating, which is suitable for many ground display scenes.

How should 3D printed resin parts be prepared before installation?

Wash the parts in mild soapy water to remove printing residue, carefully trim support points, and test-fit before final painting and assembly.
