* HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Supermarine Spitfire XIV, piloted by Group Captain J. E. Johnsson, played a vital role in the closing stages of World War II, particularly during the post-D-Day operations. In June 1945, as part of No 125 Wing, the Spitfire XIVs were deployed to Denmark, where they engaged in combat against the remnants of the German Luftwaffe and supported ground forces. The aircraft's powerful Rolls-Royce Griffon engine and improved high-altitude performance made it a formidable adversary.
During this period, the Spitfire XIVs in Denmark participated in air patrols, reconnaissance missions, and ground attack sorties. The conflict in the skies over Denmark marked the Spitfire XIV's continued contribution to Allied air superiority, securing key objectives and providing crucial air support to ground forces. Group Captain J. E. Johnsson's leadership and the aircraft's performance were instrumental in achieving air dominance during these critical moments of the war.
This 1:48 scale model is a testament to the aircraft's historic role in the final phases of World War II. Aviation enthusiasts and model collectors can now own a meticulously crafted representation of this iconic fighter plane. The detailed replica captures the essence of the Spitfire XIV's design and the spirit of the courageous pilots who flew it, making it a prized addition to any aviation collection.
