Subject: RE: BS: Favourite World War 1 Fighter Plane
I did that as a kid, Charley. I had about a dozen of `em up there. I remember a Messerschmidt, a Sopwith Camel, a Fokker Triplane, a Lockheed P-38, a P-51 Mustang...

My largest was a big B-17 "Flying Fortress" about 14" long. It was so heavy that the thumbtacks would never hold it up and it kept dropping down to the carpet below every few weeks or so. Every time I hung it up again, there would be a piece missing.

Talk about surreal looking.
