Amazing ericr!  :thumbsup: :bow:

How do you attach the ones that are on the walls?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

looks like the wings are resting on a couple of screws driven into the wooden walls Kit
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

thanks Kit!

the organizers told me there would be wooden wall and floors, so I reflected briefly and asked them to put long screws, 5 cm, in a regular pattern of 13 cm wide and 25 cm high : this is ok for average size 1/72 aircraft, which are more that 13 cm wingspan.
As for the 5cm length of screws, I sometimes had to put aircraft with wings to the wall, otherwise it wouldn't hold, but then it's ok to display them like that too.

Now that the installations have been made, it proved to work fine and be stable enough. And it emphasizes the number of them, and the variety of shapes within the seaplane type.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Now I know some aircraft have offset tailplanes to counter torque, but........... :banghead:
