Oooh, and I even recognize GI Joe there with the AA guns.

Wonder if those "rare earth magnets" would work for that. Instead of drilling holes, place a magnet inside the fuselage and put a metal weight on the wire or string. Those new magnets are very strong. We are using them in the bottom of the fuselage or just over the lower wing to mount the model to a telescoping magnetic tool finder as an alternative model stand for our WW1 miniature war gaming. The model is on there so strong, you can lift the weight of the base and tool, and have to tip the model slightly to break the connection. The small magnets (about the size of a small watch battery) will hold over 2 pounds.
