Detailing set for helicopter model AH-64 Apache LongBow Helicopter Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR7220

Metallic Details MDR7220 is a mixed-media detailing set for the AH-64 Apache Longbow in 1/72, combining resin parts and photo-etched components. The set covers exterior areas including tail support details, exhaust parts, the Longbow radar assembly, and external stores parts for the same airframe.

This type of set can be used when kit exterior fittings are simplified after painting. Replacing assemblies such as exhausts and radar parts can change the overall outline without modifying the full model.

For modelers: plan the set as subassemblies: tail support, exhausts, radar, and stores. Dry-fit each resin part against the kit surface first, then add photo-etched parts after alignment is confirmed. For the stores, confirm pylon spacing and clearance before glue, and keep small parts on a labeled tray so left/right items stay separated.

FAQ

What parts are included in this set?

The set includes resin parts for tail support, exhaust pipes, the Longbow radar assembly, and external stores parts, plus two photo-etched frets. Exact integration is kit-dependent.

Do I need special tools for the photo-etched parts?

A small bending tool or flat pliers can help. Test-bend on a straight edge first, and attach photo-etched parts after the resin pieces are aligned and seated.

What is a practical installation order?

Fit and install exhaust parts and tail support details first, then the radar assembly. Leave external stores parts for late-stage work to reduce handling during painting.

Will it fit every 1/72 AH-64 kit?

It is listed as Any/Universal, but 1/72 AH-64 kits vary by tooling and boxing. Dry-fit against the kit surfaces and mounting points before committing to glue.
