Re: Carousel and Limited Edition Numbers

Yeah, they all include the bases... but they don't include an in-flight display stand, which is just plain silly as the models do include a gear-up option (apparently, the thought actually is that we'll hang them from our ceilings!)

I read on the UK forum that the thought from Carousel is to hang them from the wall on peg-boards! Apparently a Carousel modeler's philosophy is that models on in-flight display stands look silly and unrealistic--because you don't see a real aircraft flying around with a metal or plastic arm hanging from its underside. Hmmm..... I've never seen a real aircraft suspended nose down in mid-air with lots of metal pegs all around it either.

I certainly don't get Carousel's stubborness on this matter. I have been trying to think of some way to modify one of my Eagles's stands to fit a Carousel Dora!
