When I was a kid, my father came home one day with a desktop model of his aircraft, a Grumman, G-164 Ag-Cat (he was a pilot).
This model was on a black display stand and was attached by a little swivel head that screwed on to the stand.
I would spend hours just changing the attitude of the aircraft and flight "poses".
The thing is, I can't find that little "swivelhead" hardware anywhere.
But that would make for a great display stand, a classic.
