The fit won't matter much if you build a diorama of a charred mangled hotel with pieces of the Concorde scattered about. I haven't even seen the Revell kit around lately.

Based on a new tooling release of an Air France aircraft by Heller in 2004, the 1:72 scale Concorde was subsequently released by Airfix in 2005 in British Airways guise. The last re-release by Airfix was in 2008, however Revell then decided to market this kit and in 2015 we saw their effort become available. All versions have the same plastic in the box coming from the same moulds and it was really only new decals and box art that distinguished between them.This kit has a reputation as a ‘beast’ of a build with poor fit, warping, inaccuracies and major steps in the joints among the list of difficulties faced, not one for the inexperienced it seems and perhaps why many kits languish in the stash for so long. Certainly the highlight of the kit is the huge decal sheet with a full complement of stencils (most go on the bottom surface) and all three permutations of British Air markings from 1976 until retirement in 2003. The printing is well done, although the toned "furls" in the last fin-flag design are missing. Kind of a really big Mirage, my Dad always said. I've seen them up close as well, and they are small. Sort of like a Vulcan. The engineers fought like hell not to have windows, but couldn't sell it to the owners.

The plastic main landing-gear struts are fortified with metal rods. The main wheel well doesn't fit tightly to the wing bottom, but the main doors hide most of the mismatch. Since 1957, the Heller brand has made a name for itself in the RC modeling sector thanks to its quality models. Faced with precursors such as Airfix in the 50s, the company Heller stands out and positions itself as a competitor in the market. The scope, presentation, and finish of its models ensure a place of choice in front of others. What are the specialties of the manufacturer Heller? Concorde had already broken records for altitude (21,000 m) and speed (March 2.2). On January 21, 1976, a new era of commercial scheduled air transport opened under the colors of Air France and British Airways. Pros: Great subject, comprehensive decal sheet with all markings of British Airways through the years

In 1961, these studies resulted in two separate projects, which merged on November 29, 1962 into a single project involving four main companies: Aérospatiale, BAC, Rolls-Royce and SNECMA. W time, the brand's collections multiply with eclectic scales. In addition, these types of products are rapidly diversifying: Able to complete trans-Atlantic flights in under three hours at a cruising speed of 1350 mph, the British Airways Concorde was a supersonic passenger jet airliner in international service from 1976 - 2003.

The very nice large display stand will be very useful during the build in any case as this is NOT a small model.The decal sheet is vast, that’s an A3 cutting mat underneath and the sheet is slightly larger than the box itself, however it depicts all three of the schemes used during the lifespan of the Concorde operated by British Airways, with the serials of all seven aircraft.
