Another new Bravo Team Find!

I came across this at a Target store in Fresno, CA today:

It is the Bravo Team 1:48 AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopter. I have the FOV Enthusiast version of the same helicopter and that is, of course far superior. The BT version is not diecast and the canopy and engines do not open. The weapons are removable, and the gun and sensor pod rotate, as do the rotors. It is not perfect, but still not bad for $20

Wow. Nice find!
Would you recommend it?

Yes, actually, I would recommend it. While it does not have all of the features of the FOV version or the diecast construction, it still captures the look of the AH-64D and all around seems to be a decent piece. The FOV AH-64D Longbow was a much more accurate sculpt than their AH-64A, and the Bravo Team version follows suit. It is by no means perfect, but is a good renditioning nonetheless

Thanks. I'll be on the hunt.

I saw that Apache the other day at Target. The rotor blades were all bent to hell and there were some broken pieces rattling around the box.

I have the metal enthusiast FOV Longbow and love it. This would make a worthy substitute if you can't find the FOV helo.
