Print Scale 48-289 Decal 1:48 Supermarin Spitfire Mk.XIV Low Backs Part 2 The complete set 1.5 leaf

Print Scale 48-289 waterslide decals are made for 1/48 scale (also written as 1:48) builds of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIV “low-back” variant. This Part 2 set covers late-war and immediate post-war European-based aircraft with individual codes, serials, national insignia, and a selection of airframe stencils.

The Spitfire Mk.XIV combined the Griffon engine with a later airframe layout, and the low-back configuration is recognized by its revised rear fuselage and canopy line. The options in this sheet represent aircraft operated from European stations during 1945–1947, including RAF units and an RCAF squadron.

For modelers: this set is useful if you want a low-back Mk.XIVe / FR Mk.XIVe with distinctive code styles (including pale fuselage letters), plus stenciling and walkway markings. Placement accuracy matters for multi-part codes and the stencil field, so it is typically best suited to intermediate and advanced projects. The decals can be used with any compatible 1/48 Spitfire Mk.XIV kit.
