Adding and Securing Stowage

I'm curious about a couple of things.

My Firefly 1C is back from Niall's. (viewtopic.php?f=22&t=25553)

So the next thing is painting and rigging it out with stowage thus I would like to ask two questions.

1. Do people permanently attach stowage to their vehicles or do they have a set with which they dress the tank when it's on display?
2. If you are permanently attaching stuff what method do you use?

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks in advance.

A lot of people use double sided sticky pads, strategically placed under the stowage where it's not so noticeable, making it easier to remove if needed.

I have a Sherman decorated this way :thumbup:

I use a few things. One product is called goop. It is clear and flexible and with a little work can be peeled off and doesn't hurt the paint. In areas where I need to remove stowage, for example the front of the Sherman with a cross support you see on all of them, I use 1mm x 1mm x 1mm magnets on the stowage and glue them to the hull. This allows me to remove stowage to separate the upper and lower for battery changes but the magnets are strong enough for a field battle tank...
