Concorde Missile Carrier Idea

[Cobra]

Hey Guys, Just had an Idea:how about using the Concorde as the Basis for a Missile Carrier Aircraft for either Transporting or Launching Missiles? i was just searching through here and the Idea hit me!!!!!!! tell what you think,OK? thanks for Looking. Dan

"Bombcorde" is quite a popular whiff - more than one person here has built one, I know - and a logical extension of that would be a Blue Steel/SRAM carrier. Anti-flash white with one or a pair of semi-recessed missiles under the belly would look good. Alternatively, for something a bit more unusual, PRU blue and grey, PRU Pink, or Hemp and grey would be good too. Or there's always the French camo schemes their Mirage IVs wore, USAF SIOP or SEA camo, NMF with red stars (ooh, Tu-144 bomber!), etc etc. Lots of possibilities.

Could you put a 1/144 Concorde on the back of a 1/72 XB-70 and have the Concorde be the missle?    Or are dimensions off too much?

A Concorde with a pair of Hound Dog-esque missiles slung beneath the wings would look cool.

I think a 1/144th scale concorde would be way too big to go on anything really, as even at this scale it is a big aircraft, I scalerama'd 2 in 1/144 up to 1/72nd scale and they are big aircraft at that scale too.

[Daryl J.]

Thanks,  and chances are there are no 1/288 Concorde kits eh?

No, but there is a small-scale (1:300 or so) Tu-144 kit. Academy, I think.

Hmm!  it's possible, here's a pick of a 1/72 XB-72 and a 1/72 Concorde.

I have a Concorde B.1 on the go, I'm going to put three Blue Steels under it.

There is also the Doyusha 1/200 kit that shows up at various times.

have the Concorde be the missle? 

Maybe as a super Mistel with something like a F-104 on it's back?

Why would you stick something American on it? The Concord was Anglo-French so stick a Sepecat Jaguar on her rather than an F-104.

Or, given the size of the Concord, you could use something larger of either British or French origin. Say a Mirage IV   or Sea Vixen.

[GTX]

Ok, Mirage III then.

Put a Nord Griffon on the back and use the Concorde's speed to light the ramjet......

[dy031101]

Or a Leduc ramjet plane.
