weekend build? pah! got this one out of the box about 11am on monday & it was finished on the shelf by 11pm  :D







what I failed to mention that it is a Gemini Jets 1/400 die cast, from which I stripped the Air France markings, re-sprayed the tail fin & added the decals from various Modeldecal lettering, Xtradecal stripes & White Ensign roundels

Absolutely beautiful!

It's a shame there wasnt the funding/political will to put a couple of ex-BA Concordes in RAF service as VVIP transports.  
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

too bad there are no hardpoints on the Concorde's...they would have been great anti ship missile platforms...or maybe ASATs?
  cool little plane...when I first looked at it, I was wondering how in the hell you got that plane glued up, glossed, and decaled in twelve hours...

Echoing the sentiments already stated, what a beautifu looking version of the Delta Lady. It just looks right.

Oops......just noticed that one myself !

Great work, Mikey ! Good idea, too....swapping out the marlings like that.

What do those 400th scale Gemini jets go for over there ? There was a Corgi Concorde at a store here for about 8 bucks, but the nose was plastic, and it ruined the whole model.

Cheers !

PS-it wasn't the beer...it was the sneaking onto the computer and posting whilst I was supposed to be working that got me !

Sweet Concorde!

Stupid question time from a newby:  How do you post multiple pics per post?  I don't want to keep having to post replies to topics to put up multiple views of the model, and see that the above Concorde is all in one efficient post.
I exist to pi$$ others off!!!

Depends, how/where are you storing your pics for upload? I use Photobucket and just insert the links one after the other in the post. If you want to put a space in between each picture, and perhaps add a caption, just hit 'Enter' between each link.

And there are few 'stupid questions', it took me a while to figure it out too. But then, I was too stupid to ask how!  :dum:
