Hi Nev,
The mig is the Kopro model, I think, and the scale looks to be about 1/72.
As for the Mistel, the 747 is, well, I really have no idea. It's about 10 inches long in the fuselage. The little plane I intend to put on top is from a set that accompanies one of those Japanese carrier models and is about 1 centimeter long.

Go any good ideas for camo schemes for Mig and Mistel????

Cheers from Allan in Canberra

Like Lee says, if the Mig-15 is gunna be a ruskie one then a rather plane NMF with red stars and some buzz numbers is par for the course.

However, you could do a Chinese or Vietnamese one in one of those fancy squiggly camo schemes they used  :wub:

Yes, maybe squiggly is the go
Or even Ernst Udet's plane--all red and white?
Japanese with crazy quilt green and silver?
North Korean or Iraqi?

I think I'll give the MIG a tailwheel and a 109 prop with wing antenna.
As for the Mistel, maybe light grey underneath on the 747 with silver/w green patches on top and yellow wing leading edges
