Gimme Shelter Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Dear all, At the same time as building my recent VC10, I put 3 1/144 Concorde's into production on the dining room table. 2 from Airfix and 1 from Revell. It was interesting to see the similarities in the 2 makes, but also the differences - I am not an expert but I think Airfix have the correct wing lipse shaping. I have also used some resin and PE aftermarket add-ons purchased from Hannants. All the windows have been filled as I have a number of delightful decal sets form Ray at 26Decals. I will produce a 1970's Red Tail, 80/90's Landor and Chatham versions. The Airfix kits will be built wheels and visor up and flying above a fish tank filter wool fluffy cloud diorama while the revel kit will be depicted at V2 stages of her take off. I saw on this forum some interesting 1/72 Concorde builds which prompted me to by the Airfix 1/72 but this is on the shelf for the time being - thank you for looking and I will try to keep the Topic updated as best I can but I have a RAF KC1 L1011 also in production which needs to be finished for the REME Model show next month so these 3 ladies will be built during trying time stages. Both Airfix kits came from Ebay missing their doors do I had to fill them in and bulk up from the back forwards Hmmm Just like Airfix's old SRN4 kit - there is a lot of filling and sanding needed The 26 Decals have very goo cockpit window and visor decals so the visor has been sanded down into the spray booth 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice detail work, I didn't know etch sets were available for the 1/144 Concorde kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDYMO1962 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Nice stuff- looking forward to seeing the finished versions: it's good to see the etched brass details in use- it's not always easy to see what's included from the details on Hannats website- I think I'll have to spring for a set when I finally get around to making my 144 Alpha Delta in BA/SIA colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks for the words Gents - I need to get these back on track as they have been under a sheet in the mancave for the last few months - I got distracted by the VC10, then my L1011 and now I have an A380 on the go - Speedbirds 001 to go back into production soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
