Looking good Dan! 
I've been looking at my own, recently accquired, Do217 Mistel and I am a little disappointed with one or two bits; prominent amongst these are 'The Exhaust Thingys'.....I think these are probably 'flame-dampers' and I strongly suspect they are unique to the nightfighter version! 
For what it's worth, all the best

Back to this again (yay!) - although all I've managed to do so far is Klear the whole lot and touch up a few little bits. However, I think I'll be bale to get the decals on later and that will definitely be worth photographing....
Then I just have to figure out how to mount the Me-328, which isn't so obvious...

Decals are now on - that was a struggle  ! They had a horrible tendency to wrinkle and/or fold over the edges of the backing as I slid them off. After much struggling, I got them on. Then a seal of Klear before finally coating with Matt Cote.
Me-328:
And the the Dornier:
Then, this morning I did a bit of work on the mounts - sanding them to equal sizes - and then superglued them to the Me-328. Once dry, I mounted the Messeschmitt onto teh Dornier - et voila! One Mistel!
Dan

Bravo.....Pretty it ain't, but it does have a certain statuesque quality! 
All the best
