Ok, I'll add another tip here if you don't mind.
While painting my A/C I needed a way to protect the finish on both the underside and the topside while each coat was drying and also to apply decals, weathering, etc, before the final clear coat goes on.
I took a piece of styrofoam sheet (actually a piece of styrofoam from a packaged eBay win) and stuck three toothpicks in it so that they would hold the model in the air with minimal contact. I placed two so that they would fit into the gear wells, and one under the horizontal stab next to the fuselage.
The toothpicks have since been replaced with Q-tips with one tip cut off at an angle to stick into the foam.
Also, if you dampen the tips and then let them dry, you won't leave any fuzzies behind.
later,
