Academy 12513 Collector Edition 1/72 P-47D & FW190A-8 Normandy Set  [AC-12513]

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

This Academy 1/72 release packages the P-47D Thunderbolt with the FW190A-8 as a commemorative limited edition for the Normandy anniversary. The pair is intended for display builders and history minded hobbyists.

Combat Roles and Scale Accuracy

The P-47D was valued for endurance and firepower in escort and ground attack roles, while the FW190A-8 combined agility with strong armament. The kit captures details that help convey each type's combat role at 1/72 scale.

Practical Building Advice

The model requires careful assembly, precise painting and accurate decal placement to reach display standard. Small parts and fine surfaces reward slow, deliberate work and suitable modelling supplies.
