Any chance we can see some shots of the flight stands Paul? I'm looking for ideas for Corgi flight stands currently myself.

The flight stands are a base, old CD's work pretty well. Then put a heavy stone and I use tile grout plus some vegetation.
Perspex rod from Ebay. about 1cm thick.
I drill the top and insert a metal pin, piece of wire, section of paperclip, etc.
I then cut and shaped a small bit of flat Perspex to act as a stabiliser.
Drill a hole in the bottom of the aircraft. Try and get the centre of gravity although that's difficult with the Corgi Huey as they are weirdly tail heavy.
Obviously die cast aircraft are heavy so be carful how you balance them on the table and don't wave your arms around

Paul, did you paint the "Susie Q" on the nose of the helo? I don't remember seeing that in the Corgi stable of choppers.
