LF 1/72 Concorde or B1 engine nacelle

LF 1/72 Concorde or B1 engine nacelle - Just the bit under the wing, preferably not too damaged.   Don't need the whole model.

The Concorde nacelles are nice and straight and wouldn't be impossible to scratchbuild...  You'd only need a pair of nozzles which are more likely to end up in a spares box.

I am though, a lazy bugger and would prefer to simply use the ready made kit parts if possible.   Anybody got one spare?

The two types of nacelle are quite different, and the Concorde nacelles are handed but the B-1B's are about the same for each side. The other thing is, the Concorde nacelles are quite boxy, whereas the B-1B's are mostly rounded. On top of that, the Airfix/Heller Concorde nacelles are totally wrong, just where they got the dimensions to model them I really don't know.

So which are you after ?





Actually the B-1B's are handed too, but from the bottom you could get away with using just one.

Mmm, you bring up a good point.  Having seen now the two "side-by-side", I can see it's actually the Concorde one I'd like.   Either side would do (I'd fix the handedness) as I only actually need one for the build I have planned.  Perhaps someone with a wrecked Concorde model?

does your project involve having two engines ?

It will use one pod and have two engines.

Well Revell Germany has now re-issued the kit so its available if you want to go the whole hog

I can't recall Revell ever doing a 1/72 scale Concorde, Airfix did, but not Revell AFAIK.

Same Kit, Kit its the Heller kit reboxed by Revell as per a number of others this year.

I was just wondering, another project of mine is to do the Vulcan FTB that had the huge engine pod under it, it was basically one Concorde engine pod.  I got hold of just a vacuformed Concorde nacelle from Aircraft in Miniature a long time ago (they did a vac' 1/72 Concorde some time ago),  I thought if your project was for just one engine I could see if it could be split in two.   You could write to Neil and ask if he has any others lying around you might be able to buy from him.

Big discussion about it on The Airfix Tribute Forum Kit
