Hi All,

I can't think of the correct name, but i am looking for stands to attach my 1/72 aircraft to.

Modelexpo used to have them and they're like plexiglass rods, bent at a 90 degree angle, to stick up the exhaust of your model. There were 1, 2 and 5 plane versions I think.

Who made these, and where could I get them now?

like I said, I don't know the name, display stand maybe?

Thanks.

Its been a while, but i have seen them on megahobby.com and I believe modelexpo-online.com had them for a while as well. Not 100% sure though, but at least I know what you are talking about ! LOL

Thanks. Yeah, they were at modelexpo-online (no more I think).

What do you call these things? I am trying to search for them on the site, but it would help to know what they're called and who makes 'em.

Thanks.

Merlin,

That is starting to look more like it, but it is not precisely what I am looking for. I am specifically looking for the ones that have a rod that you can stick up the tailpipe (no pun intended).

Thanks,

Hi again Iwan

You could try making a stand like that with clear acrylic rod - I think Plastruct (and others) have it in their range.

All the best
