Academy 12538 1/72 IL-2M & Panther D Scale Combo Kit  [AC-12538]

Academy 12538 1/72 Twin Subject Kit: IL-2M and Panther D

The Academy 12538 brings together two notable WWII machines in 1/72 scale, letting modellers build the IL-2M aircraft alongside the Panther D tank. The parts layout focuses on realistic shapes and panel lines to aid accurate finishing work.

Operational Roles and Authenticity

The IL-2M was widely used as a ground-attack aircraft and is recognisable by its robust form, while the Panther D offered a balance of armament and protection on the battlefield. The kit highlights these characteristics so modellers can reproduce authentic paint schemes and markings.

Presentation and Shelf Appeal

Once assembled and painted, both models provide solid display value whether placed on individual stands or combined in a vignette. Thoughtful painting and subtle weathering will emphasise the scale details and bring out the contrast between aircraft and armour.
