Airfix is flying into action to help to raise money for veteran charity, Help For Heroes, by auctioning off a collection of autographed model Spitfires.

The auctions began on 24th June and will end on Sunday 4th July. Click here to visit the auction on eBay.

Piers Morgan, David Jason, Frank Lampard and Linford Christie are just a few of the celebrity names who have joined Airfix in the campaign.  Each celebrity received an Airfix 1:48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk 1a and enthusiastically assembled, painted and autographed their signature Spitfires especially for the auction.

We are now selling off the celebrity Spitfires individually on auction site, eBay, with all proceeds donated to the Help for Heroes charity.

Darrell Burge, Marketing Manager for Airfix, commented:  "Airfix are very proud to be able to work with Help for Heroes and help raise money for such a worthy cause.  The charity offers vital support to Britain's ex-servicemen and women and helps them to get back to a normal life after experiencing the effects of duty.

We would like to thank all the celebrities who have shown their support for the campaign and donated their time and dedication into creating their model Spitfires for the auction.  With their help we are confident that the auction will be a success and help Help For Heroes continue their great work."
