Graham77 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Evening all, I picked up this Concorde for 5 pounds off Marketplace on the grounds it was already started and fitted together too bad for the seller to finish😳. In this state I think it’s 25%+ complete however the seller was correct, the fit is bad and I also want the undercarriage down so I attacked it with a scalpel or two and after 45 mins I now have this.. This is now ready to tidy up and then adapt so the fit is better and add it to my other Concorde to then have early and late colour schemes. I hope this is within the rules and look forward to getting this would be throw away onto the finished shelf! All the best for now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham77 Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Progress is slow…but nearly back to how it started only with a better fit and much easier to fill gaps(I’ve built another of these and the leading edge of the wings to fuselage was a tricky joint there aswell) it’s such a beautiful profile for an aircraft, looking forward to getting some filler and then some primer on 🤞 more progress soon hopefully all the best Graham 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Great stuff Graham I bought the Airfix 1/72 version off a mate which he started with his son and then gave up. I hadn't realised it was so big ! Best of luck with this one. Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham77 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Jockney, thank you, I’ve often been tempted by the 1/72 as I think Concorde is just a beautiful airliner but never took the plunge…it sounds like one for KUTA a few years on the trot to get it finished off….I’m sure it would look stunning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Great to see you are making progress with your Concorde!! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham77 Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 After what seems like a lifetime of filling and sanding I think it’s close to final priming and then some white paint. Hopefully more to follow soon! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hi Graham. Great to see there's been more progress - even if seems to have been mostly been filling and sanding! I'm looking forward to seeing it with some primer and paint on. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham77 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Your wish is my command…Primer, paint and a coat of varnish ready for decals time is running out let’s see if we can get this into the gallery🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham77 Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Defeated by time but hopefully this will be in a gallery soon and with an earlier and dustier (naturally weathered museum exhibit 😉😂) Thanks for running the GB and hopefully this’ll be done before KUTA starts🤦♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham77 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 The salvage continues at pace, recalled and gloss ready for a subtle wash to show off some of the panels and break up the white! next post will be finished in the completed section. Thanks again! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
