Academy WWII Aircraft Model Kits

Academy WWII Aircraft Model Kits

Browse fighters, bombers and patrol aircraft for a WWII aviation display. The named aircraft variant and marking option matter as much as the scale when planning a historically focused build.

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

Consult the instructions for the selected paint scheme before buying colors. Prepare the canopy masks and decide which enclosed areas need painting early in the assembly.

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.
