Howdy Again RJ,

The missile itself is about 11 inches long and the launcher is about the same length, its 1:35 scale. I like to take photos of my models outside, usually on the driveway, right next to where the grass meets the concrete, this kinda gives the illusion of a runway or tarmac for planes. So, with this missile, I figured I would find a "dead spot" in the grass and place it there (as if it was set up somewhere in a clearing somewhere). Doing photos this way does make the models look abit bigger than they really are, and the lighting just looks more "natural" (it really is, since its the sun lol).
Another thing, taking the photo at "ground eyes view" is an odd, seldom done angle and one that ppl are not really used to, plus it adds abit of realism to the model since it appears to be a photo taken from about eye level if it was a real aircraft.
Here is another model of mine I just posted, I built it awhile back, Its a Me 110 German Light Bomber:
