The Duke Finishes Another Aircraft in April

Yes, after a long hard fight, I can now declare this bird done!


This is the 1/72 scale Revell British Airways Concorde SST. It's got 11 coats of white and clear on it. The nose had broken when this fell a few days back, so I glued it in the raised position, mostly because I like the way it looks that way:












This beastie is nearly three feet long, so it was darn near impossible to photograph! These are the best I can do for now.


Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome!

Nice job Mark!!! I always liked these!!!

1/72 scale AND 3 feet long?? That's a huge bird! And it looks great, too! I wonder how big it would be in 1/24 scale?

[Dukemaddog]

Thank you Joe! Me too.

Thank you Bucky! Yes it is a huge bird! I don't know about 1/24 scale but I imagine it would stretch close to 12-15 feet long. 1/72 scale is perfectly fine for me with this plane!

[BUCKY]

Haha! 1/24 scale would be too big for my Hobby Shack!!!!

Excellent build Duke!! The Concord is a very sleek looking aircraft and yours turned out great. I had a chance to get one once, and passed it up, much to my regret now. Back in the late 80's (1980's, just to clarify!!! ) we were flying to the Bahama's and had to switch planes at JFK and were fortunate enough to see one there.

Wow Ernie! What an experience that would have been! Thank you for relating that. And thank you also for the compliments on my work.

WOW looks great. Where I work Concorde used to fly over at about 15:10 daily, great sight

[Dukemaddog]

Thank you Jed! That must have been an awesome experience watching that fly! Fantastic!
