Conclusions and gallery
Maybe I was just lucky with this kit, as I definitely didn’t encounter some of the warping and alignment issues that seemed to create the ‘beastly’ reputation of this build. The copious amounts of filler and sanding expected did not materialise, making this a most enjoyable experience. Having said that, would I build it again? Probably not…
Highly recommended as a “once in a lifetime” project would be my final analysis.
Good luck with your build…

The size of the model makes it extremely challenging to photograph against a background, so by enlisting some help I have taken the liberty of Photo Shop.
Special thanks to Sergey Boroznyak for his photo manipulation skills.

“Hello,Mick” – That’s an epic build of a very-challenging kit but your results speak for themselves in those photos.
I’ve seen this kit (unmade) and saw how daunting a prospect it is to build.
You’ve made a fantastic job of it and she’s a magnificent tribute to the legendary ‘Concorde’. Superb modelling.🏆
Best Regards,
Paul.😉👍
