Wheels Up and Flying

[Phil]

I've had an idea going around in my head for a while which involves any aircraft, prop or jet, posed in flight on a support like a fine wire rod or similar method.

Requirements would be wheels up and props turning , ie use prop blur parts or scratch ones, for Jets some sort of exhaust effect so you Jet guys will have to get your creative side going.

Pilots must be used in the aircraft - where possible.

Just throwing ideas around and to get a feel on how many would be interested in something a bit different - please feel free to add/suggest ideas.

My entry would be this, it would be mounted on a small dio board just big enough to be stable for the Aircraft with maybe a Russian Tank/troops etc.

Big Thankyou to Dave ''The Chef'' for finding this kit online in Japan - :drinks which I have been searching for years to acquire and now resides in my small stash cupboard!

There's a bit of leftover Pe from my last B2 build which will go into this as well.

No definite start / finish date yet, later in the year perhaps.

I like it Phil - done a few like this myself and would be up for doing one more -

Grumble, I had been working on this quietly since my birthday last October...

I remember, like all y'all, when every aircraft kit came with a stand. Today, not so much. so are their any aftermarket stands?

Not for me, but should be interesting.

Thanks but I just realized you want it mounted on a wire whereas this was to hang from a wire in my son's room. With the fan I got him,

(where you expecting anything else?)
the props would turn.

Well technically that is a base of sorts isn't it - just upside down - supported by a wire.....
