Academy 12336 - 1/48 USAAF B-25B Doolittle Raid Summary

The Academy 12336 1/48 scale kit presents the B-25B Mitchell with faithful shaping and component detail that reflect the aircraft used in the Doolittle Raid. Builders interested in wartime aircraft will find the kit balances historical accuracy with hands-on modelling challenges.

Significance of the Doolittle Mission

Launched in April 1942, the raid used B-25B bombers from the USS Hornet to strike strategic targets, a mission that had considerable impact on morale. This kit honours that episode by replicating notable features of the bomber's airframe and outfitting.

Tips for Building and Presentation

The Academy 12336 offers parts that lend themselves to careful painting and finishing. Intermediate hobbyists will appreciate the level of detail; finishing touches such as weathering and accurate decals will enhance the final model.
