Yes, after a long hard fight, I can now declare this bird done!


This is the 1/72 scale Revell British Airways Concorde SST. It's got 11 coats of white and clear on it. The nose had broken when this fell a few days back, so I glued it in the raised position, mostly because I like the way it looks that way:












This beastie is nearly three feet long, so it was darn near impossible to photograph! These are the best I can do for now.


Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome!

Well done!

Nice! I was just looking at my 1/144 Revell kit last night.

EDIT: Any issues with the wing fitment? Looks like a similar parts breakdown with the 1/144 kit.

Man, that looks great, Duke! A big, bad beauty of a plane!

Very nicely done Mark! Such an elegant looking aircraft!
Perhaps you can get more photos of this when you go to IPMS this month… That is, if you take this along this month.

Wow! That really came out great Mark!

Thank you Lyle!

Thank you John K-dog! Yes, There was a lot of wing fit issues; in some cases, I had to add strip styrene in between the seams to fill them. There is very poor fitting guides along the wings and fuselage joint. Watch it closely.

Thank you Gary! I agree; I've wanted this plane in my collection for decades.

Thank you Steve!

Thank you Carlos! It is very elegant! I am looking at ways I might be able to transport this to IPMS tomorrow night; so far the biggest issue is fitting it in my truck cab!

Thank you Mike!

Superb build Mark - it looks fantastic! It's a shame that you don't see many of these built as it's a great looking aircraft, especially with the nose up.

Thank you Stuart! I agree, but with all the issues this has, I'm not surprised most people haven't built one. Maybe someday someone will release a more modern kit that fits better. I ado totally agree that it looks so much better with the nose up.
