Most of these were built 3 to 5 years ago. Except for the Boston which I built last spring. My modeling goes in spirts from ships to armor, now I am shifting back to aircraft again. I am working on a Airfix 1/72 Arado 196 float plane right now. I have these planes hanging from my ceiling to keep them out of reach of my adopted 5 year old, he likes planes to!
Hope you enjoy.









Cheers,

Garry

Garry,
Nice work.
I haven't seen planes hanging in a room since I was a teen. Such a novel idea works so well. Keeps 'em safe and frees up shelf space.

The shot of the A-4s and the battleship (Bismark? Tirpitz?) almost looks like a flyover! If there was someway to change the background...

Thanks for sharing! Hope to see more.
