Quickboost QB48246 Spitfire Mk. XIV Cowling and Exhaust - Round Academy 1/48

Quickboost QB48246 is a high-quality detail set designed for the 1/48 scale Spitfire Mk. XIV model, dedicated to Academy kits. The set consists of replacement engine cowling parts and round exhaust pipes. Every detail has been reproduced with the highest precision, thanks to resin casting technology. The resin used for the components provides excellent surface smoothness and outstanding detail sharpness—even the smallest features and panel lines are portrayed with historical accuracy, surpassing standard plastic parts from the base kit in this respect.

The Spitfire Mk. XIV was one of the most advanced RAF fighters during World War II. This aircraft stood out due to the use of the powerful Griffon engine, which required changes to the nose structure and the exhaust system. As a result, the Spitfire Mk. XIV achieved higher speeds and operational ceilings, playing a key role during battles over Western Europe at the end of the war (1944–1945). The most well-known operations involving the Mk. XIV included combat against German V-1 flying bombs and escorting Allied bombers.
