Yeah def a ceiling hanger methinks! Or you need to clear some space on top your wardrobe, and if you don't have one, then your screwed!

Beautiful work! For an aircraft that was painted all one colour you've done some amazing detail on it. The shading, weathering and panel line details coupled with all those tiny decals makes for a stunning build. I must re-read your build log and learn from you to stop all my models looking so flat in comparison!
