Oh good, thanks for a positive response.  :thumbsup:

I tried to keep the proportions similar to the real thing, just stretched it a bit. Quite how many Concorde kits I'll need to build it I'm not sure, but I have 4-5 so that should be enough I reckon.  ;D

I'll be in the BA Landor scheme for sure, that's SO elegant!

I noticed the increase in fuselage length Kit, but not the increase in span. Looks fine, indeed very elegant as all Concordes do, to me.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

A fighter version of the Concorde with canard foreplanes like the viggen and the double delta wing like the gripen

Yes, a Concorde inspired by the Viggen: <_<

A fighter without a gun is like an aeroplane without a wing.

A fighter based on the canard Concorde or Concorde 2.0 as you & I shall refer to the design as from now on

Actually it should be Concorde 3.0 as there already was a plan for a Concorde 2.

Naturally it had longer wings....  ;D

I have found on the web a model of French military Concorde, with a surprising camo: :unsure:

That must have been a REAL pain to paint!  :o

But it looks very good, if a tad impractical..............

Probably more a pain to mask than to paint.  Spray it with Halford's appliance white, mask when dry, then spray with black

I like the addition of the under-wing tanks, very much more military looking if a little draggy.

It is very nice  :thumbsup:  - Painted up especially for a Tiger Squadron meet perhaps ?

More "classical" is the military Concorde in the RAF: <_<
