Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk.XIVc & Typhoon Mk.Ib - Normandy anniversary tribute

This Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk.XIVc and Typhoon Mk.Ib kit commemorates the 70th Anniversary of the Normandy attack, highlighting two important Allied fighters that shaped air operations during that campaign. The pair is well suited to builders interested in historically based display models and wartime aviation subjects.
