Revell 04257 Concorde 1:144 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

Product Information

The graceful deltas were expensive to operate and their sonic booms forced the carriers to restrict supersonic speeds for the over-ocean portions of their flights. Included in the box are enough decals to reconstruct an individual model for everyConcorde ever built, and specific ones forrecreating the record-crushing G-BOAD version. As a reminder, ariane 5's mission is to transport up to two satellites in geostationary orbit, or to launch into orbit observation satellites from earth.

The Last Flight of the Concorde, Airfix A50189 (2021)

The decal sheet is vast, that’s an A3 cutting mat underneath and the sheet is slightly larger than the box itself, however it depicts all three of the schemes used during the lifespan of the Concorde operated by British Airways, with the serials of all seven aircraft. The Angelo-French super-sonic airliner is one of the most spectacular aircraft dvelopments of the last few years. Each piece is inspired by an ancient endeavour and given its own unique story with an age-old aesthetic to evoke feelings of nostalgia. On the 26th November 2003, the last British Airways Concorde G-BOAF flew low over her birth city of Bristol, before landing at the Filton airfield factory site where she had been built just 24 years earlier.

On January 21, 1976, a new era of commercial scheduled air transport opened under the colors of Air France and British Airways.

I built the 1/144 version several years ago, and the windshield did not look right no matter what I did. Posing options include two separate positions for the nose cone and two separate versions of British Airways stencils. The fin's leading- edge fairing is thicker than the small fairing on the central fuselage, so I built up the difference with epoxy putty.

I won’t waste time writing up the well known story of this wonderful piece of aviation engineering, but let’s just quickly talk about the kit. Authentic Models replicas theme from nautical and aviation right through to navigational instruments and classic cars, celebrating the world’s adventurous past to envision the future. Wheels are made from black vinyl, but there are resin aftermarket available if that is not too your taste. There was a really nice magazine article several years back with what-if liveries for all of the airlines that expressed interest.

In 1961, these studies resulted in two separate projects, which merged on November 29, 1962 into a single project involving four main companies: Aérospatiale, BAC, Rolls-Royce and SNECMA. Airfix doesn't provide a key for the different number flags in each step, so allow me: white number in black box is the part number; black number in white box is the decal number; black number with no box is the color number, which is cross-referenced to the chart on page eight.The first flght of the British Aircaft Corporation and Aerospatiale joint production was on 2nd March 1969. This kit has a reputation as a ‘beast’ of a build with poor fit, warping, inaccuracies and major steps in the joints among the list of difficulties faced, not one for the inexperienced it seems and perhaps why many kits languish in the stash for so long.
