Cool build. I wish I had pics from my bedroom ceiling as a kid. Had over 60 hanging at one point.

Same here about wishing to have had photos of that stuff. I had plenty of planes hanging from my ceiling, but nowhere near 60. Perhaps two thirds as many… lots of my larger builds went up there, while mid size and smaller stuff went onto shelves or in boxes in my closet… :hmm

Looking back in my youth years, ive done the old 1/72 scale Monogram B-52 bomber, B-36 Peacemaker bomber, and B-26 Marauder kits. Cant remember how I displayed them all. I think the B-52 and the B-36 were hung in my bedroom.ceiling. :giggles:

We had stucco walls and ceilings.

Here's some older pics of my ceiling, I've since put up a 24" deep shelf above my window that currently has some aircraft hanging under it.

There's about 11 more aircraft hanging up there now too.
