It's Revell 1/144. I guess it's the only 1/144 on the market. Very dated kit but still can make a beautiful one out of it. I like their panel lines, they are fine and deep, unlike so many modern kits, the panel line can hardly be seen after two coats of paint. Another 1/144 is from Airfix, but that one is a prototype Concorde, very different from the production one.

Not so I'm afraid.

There are TWO Airfix 1/144 Concordes, their very early one is the one you mention of the prototype with a short tail and a metal visor for the cockpit, and later on they produced a totally different moulding of a production aircraft. That had the correct long tail and a transparent windscreen.

In recent years they re-popped the prototype kit (goodness knows why!) and they're just about to re-issue the later version as Alpha Foxtrot, the very last Concorde to fly, but at a RIDICULOUS price, to my mind anyway.

I like that Tophe..i would lower it down a little tho ..just below the top edge of the tail

Sorry the angle of my drawing is not good to show as well the Concorde II with low tail

Love tailed delta Concorde.

You understood perfectly Tophe  .
Thats exactly what i was talking about and it looks great..maybe Concorde should have looked like that from the get go .

[NARSES2]

Suits the scheme

I have tried anyway and it is confirmed: the new tail is not featured with such angle, sorry.

I've long thought a QANTAS Concorde would be cool but I never expected this! Very neat!

Concorde with canard foreplanes to shorten take offs & landings.

So basically a Tu 144?

So basically a Tu 144?

But prettier..............

Even the Concorde B proposals didn't require a canard foreplane, the updated wing would have been all that was needed.
