The painting or The Baron being a fool?

Very nice too.

That's a phrase that hasn't been heard very often in the last three years...

What size base are you usiing for your 6mm bombers? I didn't think the standard plastic flight stands would be any good.

All but three of my aircraft use the standard plastic base you see in the photos. I do put weights in the base and I use larger magnets than most people do.

Interesting. Next question, what size magnets do you use on the bombers? I bought some 3mm rare earth ones for my fighters and am hoping they will be okay...if not it'll be back to fleabay.

The magnets I use are 3mm in diameter and 4mm long, one on the aircraft and one on base.

Ah, thanks. I was going to go down the same route with a magnet on the base and the model but I didn't realise you cou could get oblong ones. Just had a quick butchers on fleabay and they come in quite thick lumps. I'm guessing that yours are thinner. Do you have a link to save me trawling through the listings? Thanks.

Here's where I get them from.

It's the top item, EP652 - 3mm dia x 4mmA - N38 - NiCuNi plated - 0.27kg Pull, that I use.

Excellent Bush!

The Brazilians have a solution to that problem.
