Hi All,
This is my completed Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Fargo Express. I built this using Arifix kit A02065A - 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk IXc.
Build Summary
I had loads of fun with this one. Doing up a custom paint and decal scheme was a bit challenging but the result turned out allright. One of the decals tore off, so I decided to repaint it, the result isn't the best, but I am satisfied with it. I also left it with a Satin finish as opposed to a Matte finish, personal preference. The kit was painted using mainly Humbrol enamels. I also did up a small circular base for it too. The paint scheme and decals were taken from a book called Fighters over Italy. I also did up a video with a rotating display, and was happy with that result too - all the little imperfections can be seen in this!
All kit details and build progress are here in the

I hope you all like it. All comments welcome!
