When I grow up I'll be a Concorde!

I decided to recreate airbrakes - absent in the kit.

As you can see, the shape of a cabin/gondola in the model is wrong and the ventral rectangular structure is much narrower... I am going to leave it as it is, however, since I am not good in sculpting 😉

The best effect I was able to achieve...

Some progress here - leading edges painted Tamiya Silver Leaf. Next step: masking the anti-glare panel and some 'no step' lines on the top of the wings (they are quite prominent, yet not given as decals in the kit...see previous reference photo)

I announce her finished. Despite inaccuracies, I find it a good (and relatively simple) kit. Recommended!

Another oddball machine from the Podkoński stables (or should that be hangars?)

Welcome, Jan! (Since my family name can be translated into English, more-or-less 😉, as "Under-horse-ski", then "stables" seem to be perfectly adequate word here 😄 😄 😄 )

Jan Peters
Lol, stables it is then 😀

What a weird aircraft! A lovely project for sure. But how did you make those airbrakes?

14 January, 17:57

Robert Podkoński Author
Welcome, Thomas! I took the photo-etched net (1,5 x 1,5 mm) filled certain squares with CA glue and then cut out the unnecessary pieces... quite a nerve-shaking job it was, frankly speaking...

The airbrakes look great 👍🏻

Robert Podkoński Author
Thank you, Jan. This is the effect of the third attempt - first I tried to make them from thin PE board (failed), and then I tried Kristal Klear glue (not too bad, but it was difficult to control quantity of glue...). Too much CA can be simply sanded away when set hard.

Very nice indeed 👍🏻

Robert Podkoński Author
Thanks, my friends. (I had to repair the 'fin-flashes' since the original decals are very brittle. I hope it is not noticeable... 😉 )

Jet-propelled paper dart just about sums this one up nicely!

Looking good Robert.
I like the look of those bright post-war cockades

29 January, 11:26

Robert Podkoński Author
Thanks, Jan 🙂

29 January, 12:39

Robert Podkoński Author
I like them too. but I think blue is too bright, nevertheless... 😉

Zoooooom! Looks great, Robert and up to your usual "unusual subject " standards 😀

Excellent finish, another great one in the display cabinet.

Robert Podkoński Author
Thank you all, my friends 🙂 You're too kind... @Łukasz - I have already decided on the next project, and it is not the Concorde. I think Gorby won't be dissapointed 😉
