My newest planes

Ray,
I like your planes...you might want to try using some piano wire for the supports in the future. I have had very good results with 0.15 as it is somewhat flexible and not very noticable.
I originally used small styrene rods, but they proved unreliable as the planes would tend to fall off if jostled. I simpley bend the top of the wire to create more of a surface and rarely do any planes come off.
Just a thought.

Thanks, Guitar strings might work to. Sometimes I just use whats available then if I find something better Ill change it. But Like you, I have so much stuff now storage and painting is an issue I could paint everyday and they might get done in a year. Some stuff Im not even going to bother since thats why I went with WAS it came painted. Biggest issue is finding out which planes would acually be in the battles.

Very cool planes! I am still into the ships. I am not sure about the planes. They are pretty small to paint. I will give it a go in the future especially after checking your planes out.
