Nice models!
Sure how'd you do the smoke? Ever get bored looking at it, you can use the ME163 as the next target when it tries to land. P51 Mustang got one in front of everyone of the pilots, ground crew etc., when they were commited to landing...Not much smoke though, they pretty much disappeared parts wise.

What made this smoke different was that I tried something new! I sprayed the now-poofy sticks with some Elmer's spray glue to stiffen it a bit and make it easier to mark, then used a wide-tip sharpie with a frayed and split end to get the uneven ink spread. Quote:

Cool airborne dio! Next time, try balancing the models and using just a couple of strands of 5lb monofiliment fishing line. You will be amazed at the effect!

Thanks! How thick would that be? I've got some stretchy ~0.8mm stuff kicking around meant for kid's necklaces and other crafts, so would that be similar to what you're describing?
Also, I try to avoid balancing just in case I want to reposition them later. |

Regardless, you want to go to a store that sells fishing products and purchase 5kg test line. Its diameter is .1mm, barely visible at a distance to the naked eye. I don't know how concerned you are about puncturing the skin of your models, but I tie a piece of line to a needle. The needle has a slight bend in it to ensure the line always stays centered on the needle. Insert the needle into a small hole directly adjacent to a bulkhead or frame piece on the area of the skin that will be closest to the ceiling. You should restring your B-17/Me-262 and marvel at the effect!

That sure is kool lookin.
Have you thought about doing something similar to the Me-163? You could stick a bit of yellow-red highlighted fluff into the rear of the rocket motor. |

Dear List folks:
Go look in the clothes dryer for lint especily from gray clothes to use for the smoke. thanks MILES |

Hmmm! Yes, I see that - even with random bits involved, lint would seem to be perfect for the job...
