Default 1/72 Remove Before Flight

I was a little bored today and thought I try enhancing the look of some of my static models by giving them the "Remove Before Flight" tags on the ordinance and antennas. I just found this image to a bunch of different size Remove Before Flight tags:

Printed it out and cut/glue and used a small fishing line to make a loop and added it to the plane. Working with something that small is a bit of a pain but I like the look of it. Here's a pic:


What do you guys think?

What a great idea. Really adds to the look, MKF! Nice idea, well executed.

BTW - I know you can't just hang them anywhere, hence the ones you've got up - but you could throw one more on the nose pitot tube (unless you're worried about breaking it, of course! ).

Very nice SKF. You have a steady hand, and a lot of patience.

Now it needs some intake and exhaust covers...

I was wondering when somebody here might do this with their models. Very nice work SKF! Also while your at it maybe you could look into making those air-intake covers that are visible with these birds are on the tarmac or parked for static display!

Normally i am not a big fan of the aircraft displayed with wheels down. But in this case, I think you made it look awesome with the concept of a more realistic static display. Nice!
