Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk XIVc: Compact Replica of a Griffon Fighter

The Supermarine Spitfire holds a prominent place in aviation history, and the Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk XIVc kit recreates its distinctive silhouette. Key features like the Griffon engine installation and shortened wingtips are represented to give a faithful miniature of the type.

Operational Context and Modeller Appeal

The Mk XIVc was used to tackle fast threats and escort duties thanks to its higher speed and improved climb. Model builders will find the kit useful for studying those changes while producing a tidy display piece.

Precision and Detail

Panel lines and cockpit layout are modelled to emphasise scale accuracy. The 1/72 format keeps the build compact while still allowing for convincing surface detail and decal placement.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for enhanced realism
Assembly time varies by skill level, but a straightforward build with basic painting can take a few evenings; more detailed finishes require additional time.
Yes, the 1/72 scale has many aftermarket seats, decals and resin upgrades available if you want to increase cockpit detail or refine surface features.
A light wash in recessed lines and gentle drybrushing on raised areas will enhance panel definition without overpowering the small scale.
