This one has been a bit troublesome not as in the build but the humbrol clear so i have reverted back to a rattle can of gloss varnish i hope you like her.

Nice work Peter , great recovery after the varnish problem. Its a beautiful aircraft no doubt about it , and nice to see some more airliners too , cheers tony

That's a beauty Peter , I've never been interested in civilian air liners but always liked the concord , I've been on the one at the fleet air arm museum and the first time I saw her I was amazed at how big she was but how small she was inside

You've done a great job on her

She looks very nice and sleek Peter

This is great timing! I'm building the Revell version of the same scale (had to stop to learn new techniques on kit I don't care about)

one of the things that was troubling me was that the front wheels seem to be on a much higher plane than the rears, resulting in a downward slope in the aircraft. I have the same configuration as you, does the Airfix (and therefore the Aircraft) do the same?

I only hope mine ends up as good as yours!

I do belive the real thing does have a

rearward slope
