Academy 12336 - 1/48 USAAF B-25B Doolittle Raid Model Overview

The Academy 12336 1/48 scale representation brings the B-25B Mitchell to the bench with an emphasis on correct lines and cockpit detail. Modellers keen on WWII aviation will appreciate the kit's focus on authentic contours and assembly realism.
