That's brilliant.

Does it still retain that 'Freshmint fragrance' from the chewing gum?

Many thanks chaps, I was a bit worried that it might not be seen as properly Battle of Britain, as the only thing 'aviation' is the SC250 bomb. ( As the bus is 1/43 and the 1/48 ground crew seem a bit oversized to me, I scratchbuilt the bomb from a 1/72 rocket pod, tapered at the back with filler and cut up sections of the 54mm 1776 Grenadiers flag for fins - I figured that they would be warped by the fall)

......and it still has a faintly minty freshness, Steve! :-D
