BAC Aerospatiale Concorde (Airfix-Heller kit), 1/72 - Brengun BRL72144

Brengun BRL72144 is a metal photo-etched detailing set designed at 1/72 to go with the BAC-Aérospatiale Concorde Airfix/Heller model kits. This super-detailing accessory is intended to enhance the reproduction of this iconic supersonic airliner.

The Concorde was developed jointly by British Aircraft Corporation and Aérospatiale. This delta-wing aircraft became one of the great symbols of supersonic civil aviation, with a silhouette instantly recognizable for its long fuselage, its hinged nose and its four jet engines.

Photo-etching makes it possible to represent fine parts with a more realistic thickness than that achieved with injected plastic. This type of accessory requires careful preparation: the parts are detached with a suitable blade or tweezers, then formed before gluing. Cyanoacrylate glue is generally used to attach the metal elements to the plastic model.

At a scale of 1/72, the dimensions of the real subject are reduced 72 times. This scale particularly highlights exterior details and is a popular format for large airliners.

The Brengun BRL72144 set is designed for the corresponding 1/72 Concorde Airfix/Heller kits. It complements the base model and is aimed at modelers who want to spend time on detailing, fitting small parts and achieving a neat finish.
