davecov Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 My build of the Airfix 1/144 BAC Aerospatiale Concorde (08666) A straight OOB build of one of my favourite aircraft in my favourite BA scheme. Although the Airfix boxing used was from 2005, the Seventies BA decals came from the Airfix boxing from that time: BTW, this is the first of four simultaneous Concorde builds that I am doing for a Concorde GB over on the ATF. 1. British Airways, 2. BOAC Prototype, 3. BAC Prototype, 4. Air France Prototype: Hopefully, it won't be long before the rest are completed.

BillF67 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Possibly the best looking aircraft ever built, and you’ve done it justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulu Hotel Alpha Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Lovely, neat build, waiting to see the others soon:) I have lots of memories of hearing the concorde roar over west London/ Chiswick and running to the window to see it glide towards Heathrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 If you look at them from underneath the tail, the planform looks so like a Vulcan. But I digress. This is a beautiful sharp example of the breed. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Lovely model Dave. It takes me back to 1974/75 when I worked in Oban and occasionally heard the sonic booms from Concorde's test flying. Dave G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Thanks everybody for your kind comments. 👍 I have had a soft spot for Concorde ever since she first took to the skies and so many memories flood back building these models. The 21st January 1976 was my sister's 24th birthday but was memorable for another reason too. I was 17 and bunked off school and travelled across London by Underground/Bus to Heathrow where I saw Concorde take off on the first scheduled passenger flight to Bahrain. The 14th October 2013 was another memorable day when I went onboard Concorde G-BOAA at the National Museum of International Flight, East Fortune.
