busnproplinerfan Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Has anyone built the Testors Concorde? a bit smaller than 1/72. I made two many years ago, restored both, yet to finish decals. They have a very short tail cone, which I noticed after I painted them wondering why they would have short tails. I never saw photo of a short tail cone.

Pin Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) As to "short cone" - there are three distinctive versions of the Concorde: - 001 and 002 - first prototypes - "blind" nose and short tail - 101 - second prototypes - visor with larger transparent area, short tail - 102, 201 onwards - Concorde as we know it (almost) More here: http://www.concordesst.com/prototypes.html Edited January 22, 2015 by Pin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garryrussell Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 According to the timeline in the link above this is from 1967 So it will be of the same version Airfix modelled, that is as was then, but even the prototypes that followed a couple of years later had some refinements.

busnproplinerfan Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Excellent, thanks, just have to redo my decals for the two I have, or sell them off, not sure, would like a 1/72 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 There are two different 1/144 Airfix Concorde kits - first prototype and production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garryrussell Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yes two versions of the Airfix but the post was referring to 1967 and the prototypes flying after the Airfix model, so that point is not really relevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
