Hi all,
when sort of planning a way of displaying, in my case, aircraft, the wife suggested glass cases on the wall with the planes mounted flat and vertically like butterflies. I think its a good idea.
Any thoughts on this with possible method of securing the planes safely and any other ideas other than normal shelving?
Thanks and cheers.

Hi,
I have a suggestion for you but I don't know how difficult it would be to work with.
If you have your planes mounted flat against the wall it would be neat if you could mount them on a small square mirror so you could see all the great work you do on the underside of the plane too.
I have seen some modelers make bases out of mirrors that their planes sit on and this would almost be the same kind of thing - just mounted on the wall.
Let me know if you do try it and how it works out,
Wayne
