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

The Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk.XIVc with its agile profile and the rugged Typhoon Mk.Ib are offered together to mark the 70th Anniversary of the Normandy attack. This release appeals to wartime aviation fans and kit builders who value historical context.

Why these aircraft matter to modellers

The Spitfire Mk.XIVc brought higher speed and interception capability, while the Typhoon Mk.Ib provided powerful low-level attack performance. Building both yields a clear picture of their complementary roles during the invasion.
