[:D] Yes it’s true! I have actually finished my Concorde at long,long last[:I]
It 's the 1/144 Revell kit and it gave me all sorts of problems, including a 3 month wait for Revell to provide a new windshield![:(!]
This model was built for my mate Dave who wanted to have a Concorde that did’nt look like a toy.(I hope I did OK[:o)]) Even though this is a horrible kit my troubles did’nt stop there, as my friend wanted this bird posed as if it was coming in to land![:0]
This involved, dropping the nose, scratch-building a new inner windsheild, dropping the flaps and modifying the landing to “hang” in flight-No problem![8D]
(said Tango as he lied through his teeth[:D][:D])
Anyhoo, it made a nice Christmas pressie for my pal and he’s happy with it-Phew![:0]
Not for a while Joe-too much work! I think I’ll play with another Spitfire for a while, I’ve nearly finished a MK.VIII which I have to say is a much easier build. Glad you liked the pics,
Real glad you like the model, as this build was for a friend of mine it was worth the wait to see him happy. If this one was for myself, I would’nt have taken so much time.
Reggie, this model is in 1/144 scale, so it only measures about 10 inches/200mm long. I usually work in 1/48 scale so this was much smaller than I’m used to. Glad you like the model!
