Apache Helicopter Playset Plan

Dusk settles.  The lights go out.  The marines go in.  We may encounter resistance, but don't worry, we're trained to handle these things, and having the right equipment doesn't hurt.  Designed to look similar to a Boeing AH-64, this 21x34 military themed helicopter playset plan has a lot of character and details that will make kids excitement just that much higher.  In fact, this design was deemed worthy to be built at Temple's VA medical center.

While a child can crawl all the way though and interact in the front cockpit, It's also designed to easily allow a front, side and back entrance through the tail boom for easy in and out access when the going gets tough.  For a more classic helicopter design, you also can download a Huey blueprint as well.
