B-24 H Academy from 159 Squadron India 1945.

by capt. R on May 6, 2023 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

(link) So again, I'm going back to the models that I dreamed of building when I was in primary school, and which I couldn't afford at the time. The Academy model dates back to 1996 and is almost thirty years old. As you may remember, a [...]

Academy USMC SBD-1 "Pearl Harbor"

by Robert Knaack on May 1, 2023 · in Aviation · 28 ≡

After spending three months on the card stock Russian tank, I decided I wanted to take a break and do something simple and easy. This Academy kit fit the bill nicely and accomplished two things: a) I finally upgraded my dive-bomber [...]

1/144 Academy Bone

by Mark P Hartig on May 1, 2023 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

The next installment in my 1/144th bomber fleet. Academy has upped their game quite a bit in recent years; this was a fine kit with excellent fit and detail. It assembled seamlessly. I tried to finish it in Mission Models Gunship Grey but [...]

1/72 F6F-5 Hellcat

by Michael Smith on April 22, 2023 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

My attempt to make headway on my stash of unbuilt kits settled on a second 1/72 Academy F6F this week. In 2021 I built this kit as Alex Vraciu's F6F-3 - (link). This time I would build the kit as a F6F-5 in overall Glossy Sea Blue. I [...]

Academy 1/144 RB-47

by Mark P Hartig on April 21, 2023 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

For some time now I've schemed to build a collection of post WW II US bombers but never could find enough space for display. Thwarted for years, I finally discovered Academy's 1/144 scale kits and the problem was solved. These are [...]

This build was the Academy 1/48 P-40N. I will...

by David Kopielski on April 14, 2023 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

This build was the Academy 1/48 P-40N. I will also be using Eduard’s photo etch set to add details. I used the kit decals for the Burma Banshees scheme. This scheme represents 2nd LT. Philip Adair’s P-40N named “Lulu Belle” of the [...]

Academy 1/144 scale B-1

by Carlos Gomez on March 13, 2023 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

This is the excellent Academy B-1 in 1/144 scale. The engineering is top notch and the kit goes together with only minor putty required on the forward fuselage seams. I would love to see this model brought up to 72nd with the same fit and [...]

Academy F4U-1

by Scott Nelson on January 28, 2023 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

I picked up this kit (which included the Fairey FD-2 kit from FROG) at a recent contest for a very reasonable price from a friend running a vendor table. It seems Academy kits can be “hit or miss” in quality. I think this one is good. [...]
