Small Scale Military Headquarters

this could be a good oppurtunity for HobbyTown USA to step in.

if you hang them from the ceiling, all you see is the bottom. that's not good for the verticaly challenged audience.

interesting idea but i'll just stick with the good ole screen shot.

larger aircraft? a PBY perhaps?

there is always the ole fishin line method

for those that just tuned into this thread. i'll give some more context to it.
the original post was vague.
head over to http://www.21stcenturytoys.com for pics of the new zero they unvailed recently.

the 17 was taxiing to the camera and it is just an effect of the shutter speed of the camera.

I was at the museum today to see the the B-17 giving out rides. (still might go up if i get the money, $400) and stopped by the gift shop and look what i found. sorry for poor pics, camera phone is all i had. Notice the 38's at frame left. they had a good selection but a 20-15$ mark-up, i'm afraid. ...

I hang them from the tail with some "Invisible" fishing line. I forget what pound test line it is. The line isn't the typical white color of fishing line. It's kind of brown in color and very hard to see unless you're right up on it. A single small nail where the ceiling meets the wall it what holds...

this method works ok for me; i never liked hanging them from the ceiling because no one can see all of the detail these planess have. this way you can walk up to them and spin the prop and look inside the cockpits.

i wonder if 21st was having the same trouble with the Avenger that IL-2 and Oleg Maddox had with it, Gumman not letting them use it's "likeness"

there is a Co out there that does this for people like us.
