Default Paint fixture how to?

Anyone have a good way to hold the fuselage on my Yellow F-15 while it's being painted.
When it comes to the clearcoat it has to be covered overall.
I HATE painting, but I still can't bring myself to buy an ARF.

make a plate that will bolt to where you will bolt your turbine and then run a stick up through the exhaust tube and bolt it to the plate. Clamp the stick to a tall saw horse and go to town with your spray gun...

Cheers,

I have two exhaust openings in the rear. Would you make a double support, or just go through one of them?

One should be good I figure...I like Todd's setup, but my welding skills are probably not as good as his.

Cheers,
