michael301757 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Hi everyone ,just finished this one using a mix of decals from the kit and F-decals, the tail fin was painted to avoid decalling over the fairings, I had planned to use some pe parts on the undercarriages but suffered some breakages on fitting so had to concede defeat which was a shame as they would have made a nice enhancement, guess the fingers are not so nimble any more. Cheers Michael.

kiseca Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Looks beautiful, and the painted tail is a great idea. I've built that same model in the same livery. I used the decals on the tail and fortunately they went on reasonably well but I remember having to be really careful to make sure they sat well over the rudder fairings. I thought it was going to be a disaster. I had a lot of trouble joining the wing to the fuselage. The wing was simply too long and didn't fit in the slot made for it in the fuselage. I had to shorten the centre section on the wing quite a bit. Did yours go together any better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello , yes I did have similar problems with fitting the wings ,A bit of fettling and persuading required. Cheers Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1978 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Very nice Concorde.In my opinion the most elegant livery ever for the Concorde. Regarding the kit.It seems it also depends on the edition. With newer releases the moulds look pretty worn and the parts fit gets badder. One of mine went to the bin after trying unsuccessfully to get the wing halves stay together.The seams kept breaking open and the fit was overall terrible. The only positive thing on the actual Revell release us the superb decal sheet. Older releases are much better to build 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
