I have spent several full days re-cataloging and photographing my US ID model collection- more on this later, but US IDs are rather easy to display 'flying' thanks to the CG hole through the fuselage, you just need a lot of ceiling and some wire.
With the post war metal ID models, usually referred to as NATO IDs, it is another matter. These models, which I believe were mostly made by M.Verkuyl of Holland {or perhaps Raise Up -Chris do you know the history?}, did not have a 'hanging hole' but normally have a single threaded hole on the bottom. Nor did they have any stamping or other marks identifying the aircraft or the date of issue.
I have some of these that I have acquired over the years but hanging them is rather cumbersome.
My solution is to create a bailing wire cradle like this
SO..... does anyone have another way to do this?
What about the history of these models?
How were they used in service?
