Here are some of the ways I am displaying my Corsairs.

[I hope I did it right this time. I'm still trying to get the hang of this thing.

I got the decking by scrounging through the GI Joe eBay auctions. They are bits and pieces of a Hasbro Aircraft carrier that was made I think in the late 80's. When fully assembled it goes to about 4 or more feet long. There are still some being sold, albeit, the shipping of that beast is more than you pay for it. So, I just watched and latched onto the short pieces I needed.
I know its not to scale with the Corsairs, but its better than sitting on a shelf..................IMO
Thanks for all the comments.

VERY nice work!!!

Who needs wood decks?

Of course, now I'm going to have to do an Aircraft Carrier deck for my F/A-18s...

Cool Corsair display! Here's how my one of Corsairs (BBI version) is currently displayed:

Image

It is one of three of the 1:18 versions that I have, the other two being the origional 21c Kepford Corsair and the Boyington Corsair. My Kepford Corsair is in my father's office at the FAA administrative center at the Fresno airport. My Boyington Corsair is in a cupboard in my room, storing easily due to the folding wings.

I have 7 Corsairs in a very unrealistic tight formation over one corner of the room. :-P Two more may be joining them too...

Corsairs

Post by Folkwulfe » Tue Feb 21, 2006 6:50 am

Mine hangs in my office on the wall with others. I've tried to combine 1/6th scale and 1/18th scale because of limited room. You can't tell from the photos, but there are sutle differences between these and straight-from-the-box versions (both figures and planes).

Both of mine are hanging from the cealing in my Florida room, along with my two zeros. That's what I refer to as my 'Pacific Theater' room. Now I can't wait to purchase my Langley P-40 and make the whole air battle scene much more interesting.

Pictures coming!

Luftpanzer, yes I'm married alright, but she's just as addicted to airplanes as I am, so that makes me a very happy dude.
