Academy 1/72 Normandy 70th Anniversary P-47D and FW190A-8

This limited Academy 1/72 kit commemorates the Normandy landings by presenting two emblematic fighters, the P-47D Thunderbolt and the FW190A-8. It is a focused release for collectors and modellers who value period authenticity.

Significance and Model Detail

The P-47D served as a rugged fighter bomber with strong endurance, and the FW190A-8 was prized for its balance of speed and armament. The kit aims to reflect each type's defining features at 1/72 scale.

Building Considerations for Display Quality

Expect a rewarding build that benefits from careful seam work, mask and paint control, and neat decal application. The scale supports fine surface detail that enhances a finished display model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72

The kit is moderately challenging; it is aimed at modellers with some prior experience in 1/72 aircraft kits due to small parts and precise finishing steps.
Yes, paint is required as the kit is supplied in plain plastic and the manufacturer does not include paints. Decals are included to add authentic markings.
