Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk XIVc: Scale Tribute to a Classic Fighter

The Supermarine Spitfire remains a defining WWII fighter, and this Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk XIVc kit captures the aircrafts key features. The Griffon engine and clipped wing profile are reflected in the moulded parts, making this a satisfying project for hobbyists interested in period fighters.

Combat Role and Modelling Interest

The Mk XIVc brought improved speed and climb compared with earlier marks, and this model highlights those design changes. Builders will find the assembly rewarding, with parts that represent the Spitfires lines and cockpit layout clearly.

Precision and Detail

The kit reproduces fine panel lines and cockpit elements at 1/72 scale. The plastic components allow clean seams and crisp detail, while the scale balances display size with modelling challenge for both intermediate and newer modellers.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for enhanced realism
Yes, the instructions are clear and parts fit is generally good, though basic skills with glue and paint will help achieve a clean finish.
Use polystyrene model cement for assembly and acrylic or enamel model paints for finishing. Thinned paint and a fine brush or airbrush will bring out panel detail.
The included decals are designed to match common Mk XIVc schemes; careful application and a setting solution will improve their appearance on the model.
