    Lightbulb How to do a Mistel

    I have started the construction of a Mistel for the last WWII Bomber Contest, but the idea to make three Mistel start from a WWII scenario code name Drachenhöhle (‘Dragon’s Lair’), that we want to play at our first italian convention at Modena Play 2016.

    I started from one Fw 190D Ares and a Ju 88 A Zvezda

    What a great little conversion and pair-up! The Mistel configuration has always been really interesting - I will look forward to more, as well as to the AAR when you play them in Modena

    I could see one of these in my Dark Side Future somewhere

    All the best,
    Matt

    I really appreciated the conversion and the mounting stand.
    I also liked the idea that I was getting two for one in this competition.

    This one got my vote too, as well as the effort involved the fact you could separate the models sealed the deal for me.
