Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk XIVc: Miniature Griffon-Powered Fighter

The Supermarine Spitfire represents a milestone in wartime aircraft design, and this Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk XIVc kit captures the variant's defining traits. The model highlights the Mk XIVcs performance upgrades and distinctive wing shape in compact form.

Why Modellers Choose the Mk XIVc

With a more powerful engine and altered handling, the Mk XIVc had a notable combat role late in the war. For builders, the kit provides clear parts that reflect those airframe differences and a manageable build complexity.

Precision and Detail

Detailing includes engraved panel lines and a representative cockpit area. The 1/72 scale strikes a balance so that the finished model looks good on a shelf while still rewarding careful assembly and paintwork.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for enhanced realism
Basic modelling tools such as sprue cutters, fine files and hobby glue are sufficient. An airbrush or fine brushes improve paint finish on the smaller parts.
Yes, aftermarket decal sheets for 1/72 Spitfires are widely available and can offer alternative squadron markings or higher fidelity options.
Paint the cockpit parts before final assembly where possible, use a steady hand or magnification, and consider a wash to bring out instrument detail.
