New AH‑64 Apache Panels Released


If you’ve been waiting to complete your Apache cockpit build to the next level, today is your day. We’re thrilled to announce the release of five brand‑new AH‑64 Apache panels, crafted with precision, accuracy, and the practical needs of DIY sim builders in mind. Whether you’re expanding an existing build or starting fresh, these panels bring you one step closer to a fully authentic AH‑64 experience at home.


Each panel is engineered using the same proven methods used across our Apache product line: layered Perspex construction, fibre‑laser engraving, crisp legends, and full backlight compatibility. They’re designed to look incredible, feel authentic, and integrate seamlessly with the rest of your cockpit.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new.



1) AH‑64 Processor Select Panel

A cornerstone module for any Apache cockpit, the Processor Select Panel brings essential system‑switching functionality into your build. Designed as a faithful replica of the real aircraft’s layout, this panel features:

  • Multi‑layer Perspex construction

  • Laser‑etched legends for precision

  • Backlight‑ready design for smooth, consistent illumination

Perfect for builders seeking accuracy and a straightforward installation process.


2) AH‑64 Apache Wiper Control Panel

Small but visually iconic, the Wiper Control Panel adds one of those subtle touches that make your build feel real. This panel matches the real‑aircraft layout and is constructed for full backlight diffusion. Whether you’re building a front‑seat or dual‑seat cockpit, this piece adds that missing realism.


3) AH‑64 Apache CMWS Control Panel

The Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) Control Panel is now available as a beautifully finished replica module. Ideal for DCS builders and Apache enthusiasts, this panel features:

  • Two‑layer CNC‑cut acrylic

  • Jet‑black industrial‑grade finish

  • Rounded routed edges and recessed switch apertures

  • Ready‑to‑backlight construction

A perfect visual and tactile match for the real‑aircraft module.


4) AH‑64 Apache CMWS Control Indicator Display Panel (Replica)


The CMWS suite is now complete with the Control Indicator Display Panel (Replica), a stunning reproduction featuring green-glass-effect windows, crisp annunciator cut‑outs, and accurate switch apertures. Even without electronics installed, this panel dramatically elevates the realism of your build.


5) AH‑64 Apache COMM Panel

Rounding out the latest expansion is the Apache COMM Panel .A visually faithful, backlight‑ready replica designed to bring true radio‑stack authenticity to your AH‑64 build. This panel is ideal for builders who want the unmistakable Apache cockpit look while keeping installation simple and reliable.

Key features include:

  • Three‑layer acrylic construction for smooth light diffusion

  • Laser‑engraved legends for crisp, durable markings

  • Replica knobs with raised locator stripes for easy detailing

  • Night‑ready rear illumination, compatible with standard green LED strip lighting

This panel is primarily a visual/display component in most simulator environments, making it perfect for builders focused on realism, layout accuracy, and cohesive cockpit lighting.


Engineered for Builders Who Want the Best

All five new modules are built using our standard Apache design process:

  • Three‑layer or two‑layer acrylic construction

  • Precision laser engraving for clean, crisp text

  • Professionally painted surfaces for longevity

  • Compatible with backlighting systems such as Liteflow

  • Replica fasteners and mounting accuracy for true realism

Whether you're a seasoned cockpit builder or just starting your Apache journey, these new panels are designed to drop seamlessly into your workflow.
