The AH-64A/D Apache and AH-64E Block III Apache Longbow (renamed Guardian) are four-blade twin-engine attack helicopters manufactured by Boeing. The Apache was originally developed by Hughes Helicopters in the 1970s (first flight on September 30, 1975), however, the company was acquired by McDonnell Douglas in 1984. In 1997, McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing.

The latest variant, the AH-64E Apache Guardian helicopter (originally designated AH-64D Block III), is powered by two General Electric T700-GE-701D turboshaft engines with 1,994 shp each. The AH-64D/E models are based on the original AH-64A, which was deployed in 1984 and first used in combat in 1989 in the U.S. military operation in Panama. Between 1984 and 1997, Boeing produced 937 AH-64As for the U.S. Army, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The combat-proven AH-64A is still in service.

RC models are toys. Anything applied to leisure becomes a toy. A sailboat is a big expensive toy.

See the problem you have made for yourself is that you say you don’t trust what a professional modeling company has produced, even though they make measurements from actual prototypes. Yet you are looking around for plans from questionable sources and expect to build something completely accurate to the actual prototype. That makes little sense and that’s why I think you won’t actually build anything. I wish you luck though. You’ll find that accuracy to a prototype doesn’t necessarily lead to a flyable model.
