I wish we could see more pics, Tom! That MiG looks good hanging up there!
Do you have to dust those hanging models?

Cool build. I wish I had pics from my bedroom ceiling as a kid. Had over 60 hanging at one point.

Re: Academy 1/72 scale Mig-21 Fishbed
Same here about wishing to have had photos of that stuff. I had plenty of planes hanging from my ceiling, but nowhere near 60. Perhaps two thirds as many… lots of my larger builds went up there, while mid size and smaller stuff went onto shelves or in boxes in my closet… :hmmtempestjohnny wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2026 3:20 am Cool build.

Re: Academy 1/72 scale Mig-21 Fishbed
Looking back in my youth years, ive done the old 1/72 scale Monogram B-52 bomber, B-36 Peacemaker bomber, and B-26 Marauder kits. Cant remember how I displayed them all. I think the B-52 and the B-36 were hung in my bedroom.ceiling. 
We had stucco walls and ceilings.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
