I've always liked the echelon formation. Stair stepped tucked in nice and tight parallel with smoke on. That way you could hide your acrylic rod supports and still have a sky background and not be overly large to display especially if you angled the support rods to let the sky base be a backdrop.
That would still let you mount on a wall.
I have seen the echelon formation performed with 5 jets.
For fun

Wow no wonder those thud pilots called those SA2s flying telephone poles.
Nice planes

Just thought the 1/33 paper would show some size reference.
Yes pretty good for paper though.

As they already have the TU-2 in 1/48 as a CAD database file format, it would make sense that a 1/32 scale kit could be made from that data by just scaling it up to 150% .
Pe2 is one of my favorites.
WW2 Russian aircraft in 1/32 scale are very lacking.

You can certainly tell ther is a whole lot of love in that build.
Congratulations what a generous and noble effort not only of your fantastic skill of model building but also the generous souls who sponsored your effort.
I wish you much luck with your charity.
God bless your family and bring you comfort amidst your heartache.

Ok sorry for that.
I know you have a lot invested in your bearing and pulley but
Just a thought here....and that is all.
The gearing looks reversed as it exists now
I propose that instead the driving gear or pulley attached to to motor should be the larger diameter and the pulley or gear on the rotating wings should be smaller in gearing or diameter.
That way the motor (with larger diameter gear) can rotate at a lower RPM yet "overdrive" the smaller gear on the center wing section.
That change would seem to me to generate more effect for less power drain.
Just a thought.

Sorry Kevin must have missed that.
Too... Many... Words... Arrrgghh.

Since you will be mounting it to a base why don't you look into powering it with a transformer?
Rig it like the sci-fy studio scale models.
You can run the wires up the mounting rod.

Radu,
Looks very promising!
So very glad you had some input on this very overlooked yet extremely historic fighter.
No doubt all will be in very well in order here.

I just ran across this.
I found it very interesting although it is very old news.

Thomas,
Looks great, two of my favorites.
Glad you fought through and whipped these.
Will look great in your collection two examples if
of two fine pilot's steeds.
The "Kid's" mustang is very nice and the whitewall tires are so 1940's!
The red rims on Gentile's plane don't look bad.
I still have to finish my stalled Shangrila Stang.
Bravo.

Great job.
Very well built kit and looks exactly like a 219.
Super airbrushed paint job. Well done on your build.
Cheers,
Jon

If I recall correctly the Trumpeter (Frog) Mig15 was the begining of the rebirth of the 1/32 large scale kits.

Jerry,
The first thought I had when they described the dimensions (75 feet) was that it was a wing.
If it flew that far it would most likely be out of fuel and the fuel tanks keeping the debris floating due to air trapped in the wing tanks. Unfortunately the discovery of 120 additional debris is not good. If they were aware of the situation those are most likely floatation devices or worse due to the number.

Love the Disney "Flying Tiger"!
Very cool

I like the early model P38 it is more "shark like"
Great job.
The different size drop tanks are interesting.
