SODs Spad ...(SOD is Stephen O'Donnell, right back for Partick Thistle F.C.) I found the colour scheme whilst researching No.1 "Thistle" Sqn aircraft. This one is from No.5 "Comet" Sqn....but it has plenty of red & yellow on it!

Re: Purplethistles patch
Excellent stuff - the shop dio is particularly interesting. That's how I often remember model shop windows in the 70's!
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Wow, love your diorama of the gift shop! Wish I could remember enough of the shop window when I first bought a model...
Great work on the others, and that Cougar seat with pilot looks very much like the 'pilot' from the Alien movies...
Cheers!

Viking warrior, converted from the Airfix English Pikeman. The eyeguard is a shoulder epaulette from a War of Independence infantryman, and his pigtails are made with cords from the infantrymans flag
