Aires 4462 Spitfire Mk.XIVc Cockpit Set 1/48 Academy

The Aires 4462 set, dedicated to the 1/48 scale Spitfire Mk.XIVc model (by Academy), is a high-quality cockpit interior kit, providing maximum detail and authenticity to the replica of the iconic British WWII fighter. This series of accessories is designed for advanced modelers who value faithful reproduction of the original and precision in details—which cannot be found in the standard plastics of the base kit.

The Spitfire Mk.XIVc was one of the key variants of the legendary Supermarine Spitfire, used by the Royal Air Force in the final phases of World War II (1944–1945). These aircraft were often involved in intercepting V-1 flying bombs and escorting bombers on raids over German territory. The Aires model recreates the cockpit details of this very version—including the equipment, powered by the famous Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, as reflected by the additional panels in the set.
