Spitfire XIVc - 1/48 Academy - my recent built
Posted by Aleksander on Wednesday, December 9, 2015 4:35 PM

My recent project - 14th Spitfire in 1/48 on my shelf.

Quite easy built, Eduard harness added, decals from XtraDecals.

Comments welcome!

Great job, i like this MkXIVc. 5 prop Griffon Engine is looking mighty Propeller What do you think about the kit? It has any fitting problem?

What a impressive collection you have wow!, hopefuly one day you'll add a Turkish Mk.Vb. Best regards

Nezih.

Thank you, friends!

Nezih - I agree with your opinion about Griffon Spitfires - they look really attractive. The kit is very easy to build, as most of Academy models - fit is decent, I use only a "few drops" of putty. The only problem is the shape of engine cowl - I was told it's to flat and Quickboost makes a correction set. I've bought this set but didn't use, since I couldn't notice a big difference between Academy and Quickboost parts.

Now I'm building another Academy Spitfire XIV - this time Mk XIVe with "tear drop" canopy. Hope to show her soon (but not before New Year).

I would to make a Turkish Spitfire I, but have no decals, but it's not a problem. And there is still P-24C on my waiting list I would to make as a Turkish fighter!

Cheers!
