Selection, selection, selection, 
detail, detail, detail...

that neatly sums up Academy’s aircraft collection. Where else will you find a huge prop powered Strato-Cruiser, a colossal B-17 Flying Fortress and the SR-71A Blackbird ---as well as a slew of WWII prop planes and today’s latest military jets? Right here. And in the midst of these assorted scale aircraft is a highly topical collection of 1/35 military helicopters, the ideal scale for your dioramas. And each chopper is loaded with authentically reproduced weaponry and interior detailing.

We even give you the glue to get started.
