Hi-Decal Line
AH-64 Apache
#72020 1/72 scale Decal sheet
Review by Steve Bamford (ARC Staff)
This decal sheet
comes in 1/72 scale. The decal sheet includes stencils for one of five
Apaches, plus markings
for the 6 different Apaches. This decal sheet covers two Apaches from Desert Storm
as well as two other US army Apaches and two
Israeli Apaches. All the machines are Dark Green FS 34086. The painting options
include white Sharks Mouth on the two Desert Storm Apaches as well as a black
Jaguars? head on one of the other US Army AH-64's on this sheet. The quality of the sheet is good....excellent colours.....clear
printing and completely in register although the stencil data for the 1/72
stencils are too small to be clearly printed and readable. I recommend
this sheet to anyone looking for interesting options to the kit decals or for
the modellers interested in Desert Storm markings. Recommended kits are the
1/72 Academy, ESCI/ERTL, Hasegawa, Italeri, Matchbox and Revell.
Decal option #1 is a AH-64A Apache from the 82nd Airborne Division, US Army during Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia in January of 1991. The paint scheme is over all Dark Green FS 34086 with a white Sharks Mouth and white eyes.
