Holy crap that's the biggest rack I've ever seen!

Should look sweet on the Ericksons and M1.9Ks

That is not the rack I'm using. I want to make one similar that cover the whole top. I want it to hold two spares and all the other scale stuff

Have you tried your local crafts store like Michael's? I remember seeing some vinyl sticker sheets with all stars on them awhile back.

best thing to do if you want to be super realistic, is to hit your lhs and go in the model plane section, find the planes with decals you want and pick up a couple. I built my dad a chevy long bed scaler with a stock clod body with a camo paint job and found some planes in 1:10 and 1:8 scale for like $30 for 2 kits and I had a bunch left over.
