Pics of your models on your ceiling
Anybody got any pics to share of your pretty models hanging on your ceiling?I just hung mine yesterday.After repairing them with super glue,I decided to hang mine in my room.Their all 1/72 Revel models.I hung my red Albatros DVa which is "persuing" a Sopwith Camel with an S.E.5a joining in.Hope to get more models to add the scene!

Here's a blast from the past, 1974 to be exact. Not WWI but pioneer. All 1/48 scale from scratch. Curtiss Reims Racer, Wright 1909 Flyer, and 1908 AEA June Bug.

most modelers have display cases less dust and light damage plus its an extra lair of protection

Hello Willi,
Great thread! I have been thinking about this very subject for some time now. I have to find my one Foto Album first.

Show us yours.

P.S. You may get a better response from people that use to have model airplanes hanging from their ceiling and their memories.
I use to spend a lot of time lying on my bed looking up at the dogfight in the sky over "No Man's Land".
It always took me to a good place.

Those were the days
This is from roughly 1974 or so.
Everything from R/C, control line, static and FF. If my memory serves me correctly, I think there was 23 at the height of my model hanging days. Not seen is the shelves around the room that held all my other modeling efforts.
I only wish I knew where they all went? The only one I have left from that era is a 28th scale Revell Fokker Triplane.
Salute,
Steve

This Guillows stick and tissue Nieuport 11 currently hangs in my home office "man cave". It is over 30 years old. I originally built it to fly with a small single channel pulse proportional, rudder only radio. It still has the Cox .020 motor. I ran the engine, but never flew it.
My collection of "collectibles". The 4 on top are nothing special, but inside the cabinet are most of the Hallmark Legends of Flight series and a few of a Matchbox series.
