Quickboost QB48229 Spitfire Mk. XIV cowling and exhaust Academy 1/48

Quickboost QB48229 is a high-quality detail-up set designed for modelers seeking realistic details for 1/48 scale models. The product has been specifically designed for the Academy's Spitfire Mk. XIV kit, one of the most advanced British fighters of the late World War II era. The set consists of precisely reproduced cowling and exhaust components, made from top-quality resin, providing the modeler with much greater detail than the plastic parts included in the original kit.

Historical information

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XIV was one of the most advanced versions of the iconic British fighter during World War II. Powered by the powerful Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, it significantly outperformed older versions in terms of performance, especially rate of climb and maximum speed. The Mk. XIV was used by the Royal Air Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force, from 1943 into the late 1940s, both on the Western European fronts and in the fighting in Southeast Asia. Its presence in combat, especially during the Allied offensive over Europe and in counter-measures against German V-1 rockets, was significant.
