lomasca Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys, i've built my dad a rendition of the BEA Airfix Vanguard as a surprise Father's Day pressie. It's got the standard old Airfix stand hole in the belly. I've seen 1 normal Airfix stand on eBay at £6 which feels a little steep for what it is. Any other cheap options that should fit you're aware of? Cheers, Chris Edited June 15, 2016 by lomasca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Drill the hole round, fit a metal tube, then use a length of brass bar into the hole from a bit of varnished or painted wood block. The bit of tubing keeps the aeroplane from wobbling about on the brass [or aluminium] bar. It call be done with sprue too if you have no tubing or bar handy.

RODH2 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Better yet, a bit of clear acrylic round stock gives the "flight" illusion..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
