Flight Stand Blanks

I had to make the hole in the washer a little bigger using a 9/32” twist drill bit. A pair of pliers helped coax the inflating needle into the washer… no glue required!

@the-captain they are water slide decals.

If you wanted to put every single aircraft on stands, G40 has 50 bombers, 66 tactical bombers and 88 fighters.

That’s a lot of stands and you probably don’t need to do every single one (I personally feel if you add a magnet to each aircraft piece and have enough stands for most situations, you’re set).

I haven’t figured out an exact count yet, so someone else might be able to chime in with a better idea but I would think 20-30 bombers (35mm) and 50-60 fighter/tac stands (25mm) would be a great setup (though probably excessive in most cases).

@Phelan-Kell that’s an interesting idea.

Thanks for letting me know, must have missed that other post. Looking forward to when they are back in stock.

I saw this thread after I made my own stickers, would had saved me time for the templates, glad to see im not the only one who like flight decks, though mine are not historically accurate, I made generic ones… don’t make fun :P

@jluna1273:

I have been working on my pieces and did this for for flight stands: The base is a simple wooden knob from Hobby Lobby (they fit perfectly on the chips), I bought a box of 250 pin needles for $3, I crazy glued the needle to the base, finally I heated the other end on an open flame and pushed it right into the bomber. I melted right in and its very secure.

Good idea.  It’s interesting how sometimes how the best results comes from clever yet simple solutions that aren’t obvious to think of.
