MIDair can be utilized as an aftermarket accessory item, or included in dedicated MIDair kits. 

Human beings are not programmed to accept seeing an object FLOAT in mid air; with the MIDair display, the "eyes" are 100% convinced
the model is floating, but the "brain" knows it isn't... this causes a "Sensory Conflict", which manifest itself by involuntarily causing the
viewer to stare, guaranteed!


The three MIDair mediums

Transparent Display Case Diorama

   This type display offers the maximum protection against dust, fingerprints, or debris; it provides a stable mounting platform which can be placed on a shelf or hung on a wall surface.    Including some type of artificial ground surface to the inside of the case, such as a speed-blurred runway, Carrier deck, or foliage/buildings, enforces the "floating object" sensory-conflict.    See additional photos of encased builds HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE

Open-Air Shelf Top Diorama

   This type display is perfect for larger models or those where a larger ground surface is desired.    It also creates a perceived "opening" in the wall it is set against with the model apparently "free-floating" within the void!    This also works well as a unique "book stop", or to "open up" that corner desk location!    See additional photos of the Open Air Shelf Top Display HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE

Non-intrusive "Shadowbox"

   This type of display is very popular because it creates the appearance of a "whole" object floating within openings in the wall; mounted at or above eye level, these "in-flight" models eerily catch viewers off guard!    Since this mounting method does not have a ground surface, it is the quickest to assemble.    This is excellent for those who'd like to mount their favorite model in an RV!    See additional Wall Plaque photos HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

    2. Requires no special tooling to make the MID accessory retail ready. (model kits can be used as-is)
    3. Material to make the MID Accessory is inexpensive and readily available. (minimum investment/maximum return)
    4. MIDair offers a new and unique aspect to the hobby that commands attention. (generates "stares", guaranteed!)
    5. Customer can build TWO complete displays from a single model kit. (attractive & economical for customer)

The possible applications of MIDair is only limited by the modeler's imagination; such as:

   Realistic ejection from a stricken fighter...
   In-Flight refueling...
   Yeager's Bell X-1 just released under the B-29...
   Cargo drop from a C-130...
   H.A.L.O. jumper in free fall and/or under the silk...
   Aerobatic plane inverted under a bridge...
   Medevac helicopter about to land...
   Chinook sling-loading cargo or wrecked aircraft...
   Carrier landing/take-off...
   Space Shuttle landing/in-orbit/releasing satellite...
   Ski Jumper in mid flight...
   Supercross rider inverted in mid-jump...
   Dolphin or Killer Whale in mid-jump...   

The possibilities really are quite endless!
