The model is BT55 and just under 30" long, for a scale of roughly 1:3.8.

Thank you! (I don't know what OR means ["something" resolution?], though). Looking at these images, I wouldn't be surprised if this model would make a good "tail-slider" boost-glider. (Also, a sufficiently lightweight IRIS-T model might even glide normally, having such a large--for a missile--wing area.) |
