Did you suffer a lot with this kit? Mine is giving me a heart ache, particularly the fit - or better to say the lack of it - of the engines.

@Michael Kohl - yes the fit was a huge headache! I glued the main wing section to the fuselage with CA glue which also acted as filler. I had to remove the laterally extending plastic beams from the fuselage too. There was a lot of residual tension in the structure and the upper and lower wings parts would occasionally burst apart throughout the build. I'd go back with CA to glue and fill and often have to rescribe. I would like to think there is room in the modelling world for a new-tool Concorde - I can't imagine taking on this one again! Best of luck with your build - it's satisfying to have one on the shelf at the end of the day 🙂
