| Which seems like such a waste considering that all Wittys come with landing gear permanently fixed in the "down" position. Granted, I know some people still like to display them on a stand, but it always looks ridiculous to see an aircraft "in the air" with landing gear in their fully compressed state (especially USN birds).
I would have figured the MiG 29 to be more on the F-14/15 scale as well.... |
The gear up is a bummer with the stands -- but I get around this by "parking" my Witty models and using the stands for the same models from other makers. I've got a CW Tomcat in my F-14 stand, for instance, and Dragon F-18 in the f-18 stands, etc. They work well --but the models are definitely not held as securely as a Witty ... If there is an earthquake in my area, and being North Bay Area that seems likely, I could be in some trouble...
