Revell 1/72 BA concorde (ex airfix)

[peterairfix]

As the title says this is the airfix mould but still a big kit at 85 cm long, but only two decel options but a better quality than the airfix one.


So far i have completed the cockpit and i will be using the nose lowering mecanisam. [ATTACH]111938.IPB[/ATTACH]

This brings back some memories, remember doing this years ago, if I recall I had issues with the engine fit. Looking nice is that flight deck Peter.

Nice start on the office Peter I really like that


When I was young my brother build a what did seem like a massive concord I wonder if this was the one

There's a very nice expensive lady ( enough about my wife! )


I've always liked the look of the Concorde although I have seen a few documentaries on her and she was a beautiful lady for her day, somehow I've never built this kit and 1/72 she will be a big bird ( but no Sesame Street here)


Like the cockpit detail


I'm on board for this one

This is interesting and (like Tony) is a kit I've been tempted by.


Looking forward to the progress

BTW, that 1/48 kit is insane!
