JohnB Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It's time to get back to building, although at a little slower pace, as I need the "therapy". I've decided on the Tamiya Spitfire MK VIII. I intend to do "Fargo Express" in USAAF markings. I'm just getting started but stay tuned. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Nice choice, I built three US Spitfires a while ago one being a desert schemed Mk.V and the Spitfire looks great in that scheme with US markings, a Mk. IX should be good. Cheers Dennis 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
