Academy 1/72 Twin Pack Celebrating Normandy 1944

The Academy 1/72 twin pack pairs the P-47D Thunderbolt with the FW190A-8 in a limited anniversary release. It delivers historically inspired subjects that appeal to those building display dioramas or museum style presentations.

Why These Types Matter

The P-47D stood out for ruggedness and payload capacity during close support missions, while the FW190A-8 offered German pilots a nimble and heavily armed fighter. The kit reflects these characteristics through accurate profiles and period insignia.

Tips for Building and Painting

At 1/72 scale, expect fine components that reward careful preparation and paint layering. Decal application and subtle weathering will greatly enhance authenticity, so allow drying time and use appropriate adhesives and paints.
