Description

The pivotal Battle of Midway, in June 1942, is a fine subject for building on a theme, and the fact is obviously not lost on South Korea?s Academy, which is releasing two thus-branded aircraft this April/May.

The first is a 1/48 USAAF B-25B Mitchell (PKAY12336) – actually the excellent Accurate Miniatures kit – but it?s a Doolittle Raid package with decals for all the 16 participating aircraft. Supposedly, the Doolittle attack on Tokyo was the catalyst for the Japanese plan to lure US carriers into a trap and invade Midway. It?s a slightly thin link, but at least it?s a chance to again obtain AM?s superbly detailed tooling.
