Looks great!
Very convincing

What is the smoke made out of?
styrofoam?
Amazing, a display like that is worthy of an award

That looks pretty cool! Great idea for a dio setup!

Thanks!
I took a wire hanger and a pair of pliars. (SP?) Straighten out the hanger completely, then leave a small loop at the top end. (For nailing one end to the ceiling.) Leave a hook at the other end to hook to the bottom of the cowling. (That's not visible from the front view.) Before you make the hook at the bottom end, take a bag of cotton balls and run the hanger through the center of each piece until it covers the whole hanger. Then take flat black spray paint and finish it off. It doesn't take 30 minutes. I would hang the plane first before you do this.

Ha, that's great. I did a similar thing with one of my 109g's. Have the plane upside down, smoke pouring out of it, with the pilot falling out of the cockpit (which is the way they were trained to bail out). It's one of my favourite pieces.

Very refreshing and different.

Good dio---would of been better if the Japanese pilot was jumping out of his shot up Zero!!!!!

If you took some copper wire straightened it out and painted it to match the back ground and then painted some bright reddish orange in intervals you could simulate gunfire..

Just a thought I have been toying with for some time now.
