What is the difference between the red double and red or blue double and blue?

Comparing the photos on the item description, I believe that Red Double has wider stripes than the Red. Double wide.

are these something you would hang or can you sit them on a hard surface (and the balloon still "float"?)

To answer your question, neither. The "ropes" connecting the basket to the balloon are threads or strings. We used it as a centerpiece by using fishing line to hang it from the ceiling. It is nice enough to find a way to suspend the balloon. Maybe a thin Dannie piece of clothes hanger through the center. Dannie

Anyone know what scale it is?

Hello and thank you for your enquiry. The balloon is approximately the size of a tennis ball with a diameter 3 1/4 inches and including the basket it measures 5 inches deep. Hope this information helps.

Can the hot air balloon stand on it's own? Or does it need to be strung up to something? I ask because I want to use it as a table decoration

The ballon model does NOT stand on its own. There is a loop/hook on the top of the model where you can use a string to hang it. Hope this helps.

These are darling, they are very well made and look beautiful in my boys room. They arrived on time and packaged with great care. When I ordered I was not sure as I thought they were expensive but they are worth every penny beautifully crafted and we are ordering more we are so happy with them.

Montgolfière conforme au descriptif. Très belle qualité et finitions. Fourni avec du fil nylon pour l'accrocher. Ballon solide (non abîmé malgré une chute...).
