Sword 72097 Supermarine Spitfire FR Mk.XIV E 1/72 – plastic model kit aircraft

Sword 72097 Supermarine Spitfire FR Mk.XIV E is a high-quality plastic model kit of a fighter aircraft in the popular 1/72 scale. This model depicts the reconnaissance version of the famous British Supermarine Spitfire fighter, equipped with a powerful Rolls-Royce Griffon engine and a distinctive cockpit with a camera for reconnaissance missions (FR – Fighter Reconnaissance).

The Spitfire FR Mk.XIV E was primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF), as well as by the air forces of Canada, Belgium, and Thailand. This model was used during the last months of World War II and in the postwar period (1944–1947), serving both on the Western Front and in reconnaissance missions over occupied Europe and Southeast Asia. Its improved design and higher performance, thanks to the new engine, meant that the Spitfire Mk.XIV played a key role in combating enemy jet aircraft, such as the German Messerschmitt Me 262.

The presented model by Sword is made of high-quality plastic and accurately reproduces the details of the fuselage, wings, and cockpit equipment. The kit includes well-designed sprues, a clear cockpit, and a set of decals enabling you to create authentic period markings.
