Hi Guy's
Just seen this one on ARC.http://www.hphmodels.cz/index.php/en/ne ... re-release.

To quote a certain blonde featured in the Aussie tourist ads " Where the bloody hell are you going to put that!" :o

One is compelled to ask....WHY????
The Airfix 1:72 Concorde was a big enough bitch to wrestle with, and now in 1:48th....NO WAY!!
Don't get me wrong, I love Concorde!!! but not enough to allow one to take up half my house, (well....the other half, cause I already have two 1:50 Qantas 747s taking up the front half :lol: )

Geez Ray, what beauties.
If I had those in the house I would be defiantly divorced :D.
I had heard that the Airfix Concorde was a bit of a bitch to put together had some issues with regards to the landing gear. But you're right who would have the room for a 1/48 scale or the cash as a matter of fact.

certainly not me that for sure

Yeah...can you believe these were saved from a dumpster!!! :shock:
I dread to think what has been lost over the years because of short-sighted ignorance!!
Apparently when Ansett went down and the liquidators moved in, the dumpsters at the back of the Ansett Astrojet Centre (Melbourne Airport) were full of framed pictures, large models etc. I just cringe thinking about it.....all that history lost.

PS: I was given an ultimatum once....the models won!!! :D
