Academy 12538 IL-2M and Panther D 1/72 Historical Model Set  [AC-12538]

Academy 12538 Historical Pair in 1/72 Scale

The Academy 12538 model kit presents a paired build of the IL-2M aircraft and the Panther D tank in 1/72 scale. Parts are designed to capture the outline and surface detail of both subjects, giving modellers a solid base for painting and weathering.

Design Features and Reference Detail

The IL-2M is noted for its sturdy airframe used in ground-attack roles, and the Panther D for its gun and sloped armour. This kit supplies the moulded details to help recreate those features at scale, suitable for historical displays or collection pieces.

Finishing Tips and Display Uses

Good finishing technique will elevate the kit: use thin coats of paint, panel wash, and light chipping where appropriate. Display options include separate stands or a combined scene that contrasts the aerial and armoured subjects.
