Revell 04257 Concorde 1:144 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

Product Information

This kit has a reputation as a ‘beast’ of a build with poor fit, warping, inaccuracies and major steps in the joints among the list of difficulties faced, not one for the inexperienced it seems and perhaps why many kits languish in the stash for so long. Each piece is inspired by an ancient endeavour and given its own unique story with an age-old aesthetic to evoke feelings of nostalgia. There are two sprues moulded in black styrene for primarily engine parts and the in-flight display stand, one sprue moulded in silver styrene with undercarriage parts, a sprue of vinyl wheels and lastly one sprue for clear parts.

Arguably the most beautiful aircraft to rise from a runway, the supersonic Concorde airliners were recently retired. Faced with precursors such as Airfix in the 50s, the company Heller stands out and positions itself as a competitor in the market. Wheels are made from black vinyl, but there are resin aftermarket available if that is not too your taste.

The fit won't matter much if you build a diorama of a charred mangled hotel with pieces of the Concorde scattered about. I didn't use the provided paint, but used a big spray can of gloss white Krylon for the overall scheme. A traveler able to afford a Concorde flight enjoyed a trans-Atlantic crossing in a bit more than three hours.p>

The fuselage is molded in three twopart sections, forward, center, and rear, and capped by separate nose and tail cones. The fascinating world of aviation can boast numerous different aircraft types amongst its ranks, some of which are familiar to many people and have a case for being regarded as a ‘classic’. Posing options include two separate positions for the nose cone and two separate versions of British Airways stencils.The Revel kit in 1:72 is a fairly good fit, although watch out for the nose/visor mechanism as its very brittle. The first flght of the British Aircaft Corporation and Aerospatiale joint production was on 2nd March 1969. F.1:125

On January 21, 1976, a new era of commercial scheduled air transport opened under the colors of Air France and British Airways. Included in the box are enough decals to reconstruct an individual model for everyConcorde ever built, and specific ones forrecreating the record-crushing G-BOAD version. The fin's leading- edge fairing is thicker than the small fairing on the central fuselage, so I built up the difference with epoxy putty.Intricate andcharming, this scale model airplane kit offers a challengingbuild befitting this lightning-quick aircraft. Based on a new tooling release of an Air France aircraft by Heller in 2004, the 1:72 scale Concorde was subsequently released by Airfix in 2005 in British Airways guise. All versions have the same plastic in the box coming from the same moulds and it was really only new decals and box art that distinguished between them. The very nice large display stand will be very useful during the build in any case as this is NOT a small model. Instructions are printed in grayscale in an A4 booklet format in the typical exploded view style, a decal and stencil guide is included.
