One of the things that put me off using mini-magnets for 1/600th scale planes was how to go about painting them. They tend to move around even when attached to a metal surface and holding them in your hand is a recipe for painty fingers. So, to partially solve the problem, I've literally banged together some 40mm panel pins and blocks of wood to make a painting rig (or jig if you prefer, although that sounds a bit too much like Morris dancing). I think it will do the job and can take a full squadron of twelve planes in one go, which should speed things up and help shift the USAAF through the production line to begin with.
Looks like quite the production line!
