Mistels - Real and imagined

[Madoc]

Weaver,

1. Over on the Anson thread I started, someone suggested making a Mistel with a Gladiator on top of an Anson full of napalm and calling it the Avro Arson......

"Avro Arson?"

Weaver, you do realize that men have been put to death - JUSTLY - for less.

Folks,

I just spied this one from this year's IPMS Nationals:

The Arado E-581 / E-555 Mistel

If you think about it, the Boeing 747 with Space Shuttle is a mistel device.  Maybe a Black Space Shuttle (CIA/NSA) with a plain marked 747, take it to just an altitude where a Space shuttle could take off from a 747 to achieve orbit and guide the 747 crammed with explosives via satellites to target.  With my lack of imagination, I would be surprised if no writer has come up with that combo.

Wasn't that long ago, I recall a Lufthansa 1/144 Airbus with a 'scribbled' Luftwaffe code on the side with a F-104 riding on top. Fairly certain it was in the Nationals Competition at Telford..... I'm certain Cap'n Radish had some input into that one.

OK guys, counting TSRJoe's nice build, I come up with about 7 posted this year that would qualify if I make a new category.  Anyone else got something on the go that would be finished before year end?  Would be nice if there were 10 or more to choose from.

Not a model (yet), but there is this one:  Die Staudammbrecher

Saw those Greg, nice profiles and alt history.

Maybe profiles and concept drawings, even altered pics could be voted in the same category?

Just remember, there is nothing new under the sun:

That bird is probably saving up his air miles!!!!

I spotted this one at the '08 Nats.

Anybody got anything they would like to post that they have done so I can add this category?  (but keep sending any other inspirations you find and I love the bird hitchiker)

Hi. Here there are some pictures about a mistel-kit that i already posted to other forums some months ago.

They are the Junkers EF-131, and the DFS 346, and i named them: "1951, Soviet Mach 1...". Both planes were developed by the soviets after the end of WWII.
