I have some images of them in use on my blog here: link Very simple. I cut to length then used a lighter to burn of a short amount of bristles at one end. Painted this white with a dab of black then added exhaust plume with some yellow and orange. I mounted some on flying stands for AAM's and left some loose for AGM's and SAM's |

In Coastal Command back in the 1980s, we recommended pipe cleaners of different colors to represent both searchlight beams and torpedo trails. |

there are a few missiles that are easily identified (at this scale )by the paint scheme used
example sidewinders and falcon missiles(red and white)
