    Any advice? (Hanging builds)

    Just a quick ask...

    I place my builds into glass cabinets, I currently hang the aircraft using both 'sucker' pads and/or adhesive double sided tape from the glass shelves undersides.

    However, both keep failing and aren't 'man enough' to hold even 1/72 scale after a week or so.... glass is thoroughly cleaned prior so I'm at a loss!

    So, anybody with experience of something with a bit more 'umph' about it?

    Thanks in advance,

    These might be worth a try as they say they stick to glass.

        There are some solutions, used for sticking rear view mirrors to the inside of car windscreens - specialist double-sided tape, or UV-cured CA. Your local windscreen replacement company might give you a small amount to try.

          Probably a bit late now, but for unbuilt kits neodymium magnets glued inside the fuselage, and a small metal plate on top of the shelf above. That way they would hold in place (neo magnets are incredibly strong) but still be removable/re-positional.
