Academy 12339 - 1/48 RAF B-25C/D European Theatre: Compact Mitchell in 1/48

The Academy 1/48 RAF B-25C/D European Theatre kit recreates a classic WWII medium bomber with attention to structure and surface detail. Designed to mirror RAF service examples, the kit gives modellers a true-to-prototype platform to explore Mitchell features at a collectible scale.
