Hobby Master HA7114 1/48 Air Power Series
Hobby Master 1/48 Air Power Series HA7114 replicates the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIVe serial number MV257/JE-J in 1/48 scale diecast. It was flown by Group Captain Johnnie Johnson, Commanding Officer of No.125 Wing, Royal Air Force (RAF) Denmark, in June 1945.
Johnnie Johnson
James Edgar Johnson (1915–2001), CB, CBE, DSO & Two Bars, DFC & Bar, DL, nicknamed “Johnnie”, was an RAF flying ace of the Second World War and later the Korean War. He was credited with 34 aerial victories, the highest-scoring Western Allied pilot against the Luftwaffe. He retired from the RAF in 1966 as an air vice marshal.
Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIV
The Spitfire Mk.XIV was a British single-engine, single-seat, short-range, medium to high-altitude fighter reconnaissance aircraft.
It used the Mk. VIII airframe with an extended nose to house the Griffon engine, a five-bladed propeller, a bigger fin and rudder and other minor changes. Later, production had cut-back fuselage, tear-drop canopies, and the E-Type wing.
It first flew in January 1943, entering service in December 1943 with 610 Squadron. With a top speed of over 640 kph (400 mph), it was used to intercept V1 flying bombs and later the Me 262 jet fighter. 957 Mk XIVs were built.
Early production armament consisted of four 0.303 in machine guns and two cannons, two machine guns wing-mounted and later with the “E” wing, two 0.50 in machine guns and two cannons.
It uses a single Rolls-Royce Griffon supercharged liquid-cooled V-12 piston engine driving a five-bladed Rotol propeller.
