Concorde Bomber Progress

[giraffeboy]

This project got put aside for a while, because of school stuff (German Speaking exams in particular. Anyhow, I've still to fit the other engines with the new exhaust nozzles, and then i can give it a coat of paint. However, I'm not too sure about the colour. Would it be a matt white, or a gloss white? Or taking it further, would another colour be better?

I really like the look of the Concorde as a bomber. Slip it into the commercial pattern of a rival's major airport in place of the Speedbird and use it as a potential sneak attack/decapitation strike on the command and control.

And really, can you go wrong with anti-flash white on a bomber like this?

....if it is going to be a British bomber, better turn the fin flashes around so the red is forward! Right now at least the tail is French! Mon Dieu!

Anyway, lovely beast!

All the better to blame the French for the sneak attack.

Looking good

  Be careful with this.  BOAC would charge you for  a considerable amount of  excess baggage on the weight of a bucket or two of instant sunshine

Ah, woops, tad bit embarrassing! A good thing it wasn't on the model, only the trial image!

But it'd only be a one way charge, right?

Dead right. one way for the excess baggage and, I sincerely hope, a return for the people.

Just found this, some quite interesting footage of the development aircraft.

I am not convinced at all the nose (and perhaps also the name Valiant) but otherwise is a great idea 

[giraffeboy]

The shape of the nose is based on the prototypes, which  i prefer for a military Concorde. Plus, I broke the visor for the kit!

It looks big fast and powerful. Like an Aston Martin, maybe the Vanquish model?

Gosh, its been a long time, and this project has been languishing on the workbench, due to GCSE's etc. Finally though, ive time to complete the lats leg and finish the job A couple of bits just need to be sanded and filled, however after that, all that needs to be done is paint and decals. Now, i should hopefully have pictures up in a couple of days, but first, I need to work out whether to do it in gloss white or matt white - any advice?
