Hanging airplane models on the wall?

[docsudy]

Hello fellow SMAs
Any one have any experience with hanging model aircraft on the wall. I have little shelf space and I was thinking of using drywall screws and clear fishing wire (40 pound test) looped around the tail section or wing roots to support the aircraft. Any thoughts or suggestions or new ideas.???

Tim does that .
So , I'm sure he'll be sharing here soon enough ,

I hang my airplanes on the wall and helicopters from the ceiling. I use 20 lb test fishing line looped around the wings close to the fuselage and attached to wall with thumb tacks.
Here are some pics. You can see some planes the line is looped around the nose.

Not mine, but I was thinking something along this lines might be nice. Would not even need to be that heavy duty for smaller scale stuff like 1/72



or something like this you could probably do with bits from the hardware/shelving sections



or this

Thanks all for you ideas. I found some white head truss screws on Amazon which I think would work well to anchor into the drywall and be not well visualized with using 10 lb clear fishing test line just as Tim does. I think this way you could have the planes nose point up towards the ceiling or down towards the ground depending on how you would like it and the configuration of the wings and tailpiece respectively. Thanks again everybody.
