An alternative to the MB stands...

Hey, if there's anyone else out there that doesn't care for MB's stands....

I took a spare Dragon stand, filed the peg down slightly on the sides and it works perfectly with the MB models -- I've got a MB FW 190 on the stand now in a very gentle climb and it looks great, much better than what you get with the provided short stand that is very hard to get to work right anyways...

Doesn't take much filing either -- if you you do it just right the model will slide on with just a bit of force and be held quite securely. Just an FYI...
