Academy 12573 PBY-5A 1/72 Midway Catalina Kit  [AC-12573]

Academy PBY-5A 1/72 Midway Catalina Scale Kit

The Academy 1/72 USN PBY-5A Midway kit lets model builders replicate the classic Catalina amphibian with attention to real-world form and function. The moulding highlights the seaplane profile so you can assemble a historically recognisable subject for display or a naval vignette.

Operational story in miniature

The PBY-5A made its mark with long endurance and multi role duties, and this kit honours that legacy in scale. Carefully shaped parts capture the hull, wing floats and other signature elements, so modellers can show the aircrafts amphibious character while keeping accuracy in focus.

Construction notes and finish ideas

Academys 1/72 kit provides a logical build sequence and crisp panel lines that respond well to paint and weathering. The twin engine nacelles and observation windows are modelled to take paint and decals cleanly, yielding a pleasing finished model for a shelf or themed scene.
