Academy 12274 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire MK.XIV - Overview for Model Builders

The Supermarine Spitfire MK.XIV is celebrated for its Griffon powerplant and refined aerodynamics, which helped secure air superiority in late WWII. The Academy 12274 captures those signature lines in 1/48 scale, giving builders a chance to study and recreate an important chapter of aviation history with precise plastic components.

Construction Accuracy and Build Notes

This Academy kit aims at hobbyists who value scale fidelity and clean assembly. At 1/48 scale the moulding highlights the Spitfire's contours and control surfaces, and parts are engineered to fit with good alignment for a satisfying build experience.

Finished Model Presentation

When assembled and painted, the Spitfire MK.XIV becomes a strong display piece. The included decal sheet and recommended painting approach help achieve an authentic finish that stands out in a collection of WWII aircraft.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Recommended for authentic finish
This kit suits intermediate modellers; some experience with small parts, sanding and painting will make the build smoother and the finish more accurate.
Use RAF colour references for the MK.XIV era, selecting model acrylics or enamels matched to historical paints and applying thin, even coats for panel definition.
Basic builds look great out of the box, but experienced modellers often add photoetched or resin detail sets for cockpit, exhausts and surface detail to raise realism.
