discussion Flying Display Stands for my Luft46 aircraft

[Guest]

Hi Guys

This is my first post, currently Im doing a Luft46 aircraft models eg Flitzer,262,Komet.

Im doing the models as wheels up, therefore I need to get some cheap plastic flying stands, where can I get these from? being searching high and low on the net and a couple of shops, all I can find is the expensive metal ones:thinking:

Any pointers would be most welcome, hopefully get some pics done when I finished and post them on here.

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark, Not sure if it's a panorama but I've used Copper tubing to poise models years ago. Copper doesn't cost too much and only requires one hole drilled into the bottom of the model. at a distance you cant really see it. Lexan is another type of plastic found in art stores but requires heat to bend it. Hope this helps. Alph of Spokane WA

Cheers Al, good idea!! got me thinking so I have just bought some cheap aluminuim wire 1.5mm that I can bend to make some stands, I will give Lexan a try also :sorted:
