Are you using standard flying bases to mount your aircraft?
Are you frustrated that you cannot represent the attitude of the aircraft?
You need Beagle Nuts!

Each Beagle Nut consists of a M3 nut with 5 small magnets glued to it.

The Beagle Nuts are used with flying bases, enabling a wide range of aircraft attitudes (pitch and roll) to be represented.

We use M3 nuts (which are 5.5 mm across flats) as the flat surfaces are perfectly matched to the 3.2 mm diameter magnets available from Dom's Decals.

Why not just use a nut? Because the magnets aren't attracted to them strongly enough to keep lead aircraft in place!

A base from Forgeworld, with attached magnet; a Beagle Nut; and a 1/300 scale RAF Phantom with attached magnet.

Important: ensure you mount the magnet very close to the centre of gravity of the plane; if you don't it will rotate on the Beagle Nut.

Polarity is important! Follow the diagram on the left to make sure your nuts are not repulsive!

The bottom nut magnet has the opposite pole to the nut to all the other magnets!

And if a group of you are making bases and nuts, make sure you agree on which magnet orientation to use!
