Pioneer display case with Academy 1/144 F-14A "Tomcat"

One of the most dramatic still-life scenes you can create using this technique is a carrier-landing, with the plane in a flared configuration above the arrestor cables. See other photos HERE and HERE.

*mounting the planes in display cases provides maximum protection and makes beautiful Collectable style displays!*
