    Hi Vaughn... hung at an appropriate angle for a dive bomber. Lovely finish.

    Cheers,
    Richard

      I thought this looked familiar...I live close to Goodwood and they have a Harvard that I see often.

      This model is excellent and you've bought out the details on the surface really nicely. Something I will aspire to achieve.

        Thanks fore the comments Guys.
        Barry I've attached a couple of photos of the hanging tail sections. All I've done is used a loop of fishing line wrapped it round the tail section and tied it off. The picture hook is a standard hook but the pin is extra long 4cm. The set I bought either from Wilco or Poundland and came with these extra long pins. So far they are still hanging there!! I was half expecting to find them on the floor the next day but so far so good:rolling:

          Hi Vaughan
          That is an excellent result. Using the masks rather than the poor decals has turned out really well. Grand way of displaying large planes.

                Another super build Vaughan. I really do hope you have a safety net set up for the wall hangers.

                    John so far so good. I was a little concerned at first, but everything seems to be holding out and a great space saver. I intend to do the same with the Me 262 but I'm not sure how it going to hang with a tricycle undercart :rolling:
