Concorde "British Airways, 1/144 - Revell 04257

The Concorde « British Airways » Revell 04257 scale model reproduces at 1/144 the famous supersonic airliner in the British Airways livery. This plastic kit to be assembled lets you create the Concorde’s very recognizable silhouette, with its slender fuselage, delta wings, and distinctive nose.

The Concorde remains one of the great icons of civil aviation. Its first flight took place in 1969, and its commercial operation, handled by British Airways and Air France, ran from 1976 to 2003. Capable of flying at more than twice the speed of sound, it notably connected Europe and the United States by greatly reducing travel time compared with the subsonic airliners of its era.

At 1/144 scale, the assembled model reaches a length of 433 mm. The kit includes 67 parts and comes with decals to reproduce the British Airways decoration. Its format particularly highlights the aircraft’s long, elegant lines, suitable for display on a shelf or in a showcase.

Assembly requires the usual steps of plastic model making: preparing parts, gluing, filling and treating any seam lines, painting, and applying decals. A primer helps to even out the surfaces before painting, while careful decal application contributes to achieving a crisp look of the civilian livery.

This Revell reference is a project dedicated to an iconic aircraft of the supersonic era and the historic British Airways decoration.
