Academy Helicopter Model Kits

Academy Helicopter Model Kits

Compare Academy rotorcraft by mission, scale and configuration, from small Hughes helicopters to Apache, Black Hawk and Sea Dragon subjects.

Choose the subject and scale

Read the complete subject name and Academy kit number before selecting a version. A unit, production type or named edition can change which references and paint scheme you need. Compare the scale with the rest of your planned display and check the individual listing for any stated special features.

At the workbench

A helicopter build rewards a planned cabin-painting sequence. Dry-fit the fuselage around the interior, protect clear parts through the finishing steps and check the rotor and landing-gear alignment.

Plan the finish and supplies

Start with the instructions and a list of the colors, tools and materials needed for this kit. Dry-fit the main parts, then prepare a test sample of the intended finish. Keep delicate details accessible through painting and leave their final installation until the assembly sequence calls for them.
