Slorm asked how I was mounting my AWACS planes so here's how I did it
Step 1, using one of the predrilled bases as a guide, drill a 1mm hole through one of the non-drilled bases
Step 2, cut a 2" length of 1mm wire, I use some florists wire that I bought years ago, about 100 feet for £1.50
Step 3, glue the wire into the base
Step 4, trim the wire so that there's about 1" left above the base
Step 5, pick your plane and locate the tiny mounting hole in it
Step 6, enlage that hole to 1mm, a couple of mm deep is more than enough
Step 7, a spot of superglue on the wire and push gently into the hole
Step 8, wave your favourite paintbrush in its general direction and your good to go.
repeat 31 more times. Warning the metal on these is very hard so take care when drilling, and get lots of little blobs of blue-tac ready for mounting those missile dice.
Perfect!

Let's start to base them
I hve a sneaky idea I might be playing this in a week.
