Academy 12538 1/72 IL-2M and Panther D Dual Build Kit  [AC-12538]

Academy 12538 Dual 1/72 IL-2M Aircraft and Panther D Tank Kit

The Academy 12538 1/72 scale model set pairs the Soviet IL-2M ground-attack aircraft with the German Panther D tank, offering a focused historical modelling project. Both subjects are moulded in plastic with attention to fine detail, making this kit appealing to hobbyists who value accuracy and realistic assembly work.

Period Accuracy and Scale Detail

The IL-2M earned a reputation for rugged ground-attack capability, while the Panther D combined strong firepower and armour. This kit reflects those defining silhouettes and surface features at 1/72 scale, providing reference points for careful painting and weathering techniques.

Build Experience and Display Potential

Builders can expect a rewarding assembly with parts that suit diorama or stand-alone displays. The contrasting profiles of the aircraft and tank create an engaging display when completed together, and both models photograph well for documentation or show entries.
