The weathering and added lumps and bumps really give the look of a warplane. :wub:

That's some first class whiffage right there! I love the finish it looks very authentic. How does Wilkos App White compare to Halfords?

Coolest concorde I've seen in quite a while, love the build...really stunning.

Weaver

That really is very convincing indeed. There's a somewhat tired-looking Vulcan in anti-flash white here at Woodford and the way you've got all the little panels highlighted by dirt/corrosion etc... is spot on.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Not bad lookin mate. . . Might even turn some poor dumb JMNs head at a contest!

Just a thought here, but wouldnt be more practical to make the AAR probe retractable? I get an uneasy feeling that it might snap off during high G maneuvers at supersonic speeds.
