Thank you for the compliments gentlemen.  I hope you will approve of the completed Philcox Trophy.  Philcox was the name of the pilot of this machine in the 1921 Oxford-Cambridge inter-collegiate air race.  The figures are repainted Skybirds castings.  Everything else is scratch except the o-rings used as tyres. 

Cabane and undercarriage struts are brass, the interplane struts are bamboo.

Here the S.E.5a is shown with a solid 1/72 Gloster Grebe I built in 1998.  Both airplanes designed by H.P. Folland.

Very nice indeed Mark, I'm sure the winner will be well pleased with the trophy, it looks very realistic with the grass and the figures. Regards Paul J.

Mark, what a fantastic read. Magnificent photos and active participation by many made the article a winner. Your trophy presentation must have been the crowning event.
