I've been pondering this one over for a quite a while and I think I've got it.
Hang them from separate pieces of thread.

You could also do a Blue Angel (Thuderbirds etc.) dio of the solos crossing, or a WW2 bomber "box" formation, or Hueys in "Line Astern" maybe fighters in a "Finger Four"

Excellent ideas Derek I love the Huey idea. The clear line is also good. I might try the Huey idea. If I can make it look respectable I'll send pictures. Thanks for the excellent ideas.

The best advice I can give you Striker is to visit the paint forum and posts questions there. All the paint experts hang out there.

Jets can be supported on acrylic rod disuised as exhust. I'd thought about doing that when I build my Foxhound and posing it at the far point of a Cobra.

I like the acrylic rod idea... you could use the rod and then mesh it with floss right up to the engine exhaust point! Fluff up the floss or cottonballs teased out with brush and comb to desired effect, then pray it ehavily with hairspray to keep it solid?

That's about right Aric. I've even seen the bit closest to the exhaust colored with stain glass color to look like fire. I seem to recall this being done on a Blue Angels formation.

If you haven't seen the latest FSM you'll want to check it out. There's an article about posing a B-2 on acrylic rod, using epoxy putty inside the body to give some support to the upper end of the rod. Looks pretty good.

When I built a flying diorama I posed an aircraft and a Regulus missile together. What I did was to stick a wire through the backdrop and use silly putty to attach the aircraft to it and photograph it so the wire doesn't show. The backdrop was sky and it worked real well.

another cool hanging dio could be a formation of planes from normandy dropin parachuters, make a guy in the door way another about to be rid of the static lline, and another guy with an open parachute, as to how to mount it, idk.
i wanted to make a dogfight dio between a wildcat and a zero and i was gonna have a base and then some rounded stands mounted to each and set far apart and use fishing line for tracers.

I think a flight of Stukas rolling over into the dive could be a nice flying Dio. Hueys doing similar would be alright as well.

Hmmm...the Huey one would be very cool, what about a Skyraider "bombed up" dropping it's load with another on the way...or maybe a P-38 launching all of it's HVARS (with cotten balls for smoke, of course!"

Sounds like the best method is fishing line and acrylic rod .

the acrylic rod allows better placement, the fishing line allows the model to swing,
causing some problems with moving the dio. You should make a dio of Ju-88 night fighters attacking a lancaster (or other Allied Heavy bomber) limping home wounded after a raid
