New crew and weapon sets from R2 Miniatures for US Army attack helicopters ….

1/35th scale

This set of two apache crew contain the pilot to sit in the rear of the cockpit, and Weapons system officer of gunner for the front of the Apache.

Both are 3D printed, and come in a single part, just needing to be taken out of their printing supports. The modellers have designed these to be useful and easy to remove. In the pictures below, you can view the detail of one of these figures…

Set No: R33-35

A set of two ground crew with hellfire missiles is the second set from R2. The AGM-114 Hellfire Missile and two open containers are realistic for a loading scene. You can see some sharp detail not only on the figures, but on the missiles themselves and the cases with their thin latches and fins on the missiles.

This figure is 3D printed, and comes with four boxes of 30mm ammunition and five clips of 30 mike-mike for a loading scenario. The ammo is being loaded into an AH-64 or Bell OH-58 Kiowa. Impressive is the detail afforded to the wrinkles on his clothing, and the equipment he is wearing.

This set includes six AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and eight containers for transport. 3D printed in grey resin with digitally sculpted details, showcasing the fine definition of the clips and missile fins.

For fewer support structures, the boxes are printed at an angle, placing most attachment points on the container bottoms.

This image showcases both the Hellfire missile and the transport container’s top and bottom. Modelers will appreciate the intricate details of the clamps that secure the missile during transport.
