The set includes resin parts and a photo-etched sheet to refine the small rear support area that is easy to notice on a finished helicopter displayed on its landing gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTail support details sit at the very end of the airframe and often catch light differently from the surrounding surfaces. Cleaner edges and a more defined outline help the rear profile look sharper without changing the overall kit geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor modelers:\u003c\/strong\u003e test-fit the tail support parts with the fuselage halves and landing gear installed (or at least mocked up) to confirm clearance and alignment. Add photo-etched parts after major seam work is finished, and keep glue to the minimum on visible faces. If you build with the model resting on a flat base, check that the tail support does not introduce an unintended “nose-up” stance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e AH-64 Apache (LongBow) tail support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariant \/ Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e AH-64 Apache family (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 Universal (for compatible 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 Resin, photo-etched metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e MDR7221\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.
