Challenge..! Concorde Group Build...
Posted by djmodels1999 on Wednesday, November 5, 2003 4:15 PM
With Concorde's last scheduled flight still very fresh in our minds, what about a Concorde Group Build..?

There's a few airline modeler in here, but there a lot more who I bet have never built an airliner, let alone an airplane! Think it's easy? Think again and give it a try... (that's the challenge). Smile [:)]

We'll take any scale, any kit, provided it's a Concorde, and why not Evil [}:)], allowing any other SST model, fictional or real, as well...

Anyone interested Question [?]

Hey DomiSmile [:)],

sounds like a good way for me to get into a group build for the first timeBlush [:I]. I've been asked to build one by a friend. It looks like I'll be using the Revell 1/144 kit as my research suggests it's the best one out there.

If anyones built this kit before, feel free to guide me through itClown [:o)]

Later,

Darren.

While I am mostly into armor now, my first interest was A/C and have built a couple of modern jets and helos. I have not tried airlines yet. I think the only Concorde Kit that I have seen so far is the Revell 1/144.

I think this is a good idea in honor of that wonderful bird. I am not sure however if I could count myself in with 3 kits still to be built.

Dwight, we do not have to start right away... Maybe give people a couple of weeks or a month to find the kit they want and then we can start... What do you think?

Darren, indeed the best 1/144 Concorde is the Revell kit. Glad to have you onboard... Do you have yours already?

Don't know how easy it is to find models of the production Concord, but saw 3 Doyusha 1/200 kits in my local LHS.

Not sure if I can name the store online, but if anyone want to know give me a shout.

DJ, I am still waiting to see if the shops will have the Revell 1/144 kits by mid December. They said they will have but you know I can be sure until I see it.
