Orion Assault Dropship & Ares Gunship Magnetization Recommendations

Flight Stands for Orion / Ares

The Orion Assault Dropship and Ares Gunship are the same super-heavy flyer kit, built as either a transport (Orion) or a gunship (Ares). Both configurations use a flying stem on a 160mm round base, so the basing setup is identical regardless of which build you choose.

For a sturdy flight stand for the Orion and Ares, use the Mega Large Flat Magnetic Flight Stand.

Use 6mm x 2mm disc magnets to magnetize the base to a magnetic case. Use 3-4 if you transport the model on the base, and 1 if you transport the base separately.

For a replacement base, use the 160mm round base with magnets, which has preset holes for magnets to prevent them from ever popping off.

For a peel-and-stick basing option, use 4 of the 25mm Peel & Stick Inner Base Magnets spaced evenly inside the base — no drilling required.
