Academy 1/72 P-47D & FW190A-8 Normandy Anniversary Tribute

This limited Academy 1/72 scale set brings together the P-47D Thunderbolt and the FW190A-8 as a focused tribute to the 70th anniversary of the Normandy Invasion. It is aimed at collectors and hobbyists who appreciate historically faithful aircraft models and period detail.

Operational History and Model Fidelity

The P-47D Thunderbolt earned a reputation for toughness and multi role capability, performing escort and ground attack tasks during the Normandy campaign. The FW190A-8 was a key opponent with notable speed and firepower. This kit captures their silhouettes and markings for display and study.

Assembly and Finishing Notes

Suitable for modelers with some experience, the 1/72 scale parts allow fine detailing but demand careful painting and decal work to reach an authentic appearance. Take time with seams and surface finishes to bring out the best results.

Specifications
