Lovely model!! I'm, too, changing my Heller 1/72 Concorde into a Bomborde
(= Concorde bomber!) It's along haul project but I resurected it recently...

Both the Tu-160 and B-1 had very similar designs to this considered.

i do seem to have faint memories of an attempt by the PRC to purchase concordes and/or construction licenses ..

the deal was nixed because of fears of handing them a Bombcorde...

[Eddie M.]

Very eye catching. B) Looking forward to the rollout of the finished product.

Well, that's a hell of a way to make an enterance. That is one hell of a Bombcorde, teriffic cammo and lovely looking weapons bay.
Welcome to the madhouse Jamatari, beer and pork pies are obligatory offerings and depriving the Canadian contingent of beer is one of our favourite pastimes here.

Welcome! I see that you followed my link over at the EXFIX forums!

Looks fantastic, only surprised no one has complained it hasn't got maple leaf markings.  What did you envisage the payload as, freefall, Blue Steel?

Whats the crew escape route/device(s)? I did one up a few yrs ago based on a more pre-production Con, with an escape capsul making up the fuselodge from just aft of the entryway forward to the cockpit.


again, lovely bird you got there!

That is one smart looking camouflage scheme that you have done on that Concorde.  Very nice indeed.  The details on your weapons bay are well done.  If you had been soliciting suggestions on how to go with it, I would have recommended weapons bay doors that disappeared into the fuselage so as to not disrupt the airflow at high speeds or explore the possibilities of a rotating weapons bay as used on the USAF B-57 as a means of exposing the weapons, again without disrupting airflow at high speeds.  

Of course it is your project and I do appreciate the fact that you have successfully gutted the Concorde and created a rather nicely detailed weapons bay.  

Now the question is what are you going to stuff inside of that thing to make it a viable threat?

Awesome James Way to make an entry.

Welcome to the madhouse and please don't feed the Canadians.
