There's these unsightly seams where the nose and tail sections are joined to the fuselage. Otherwise it looks very nice.

It's only partially glued together so far. The hard part will be caulking, sanding and priming.

I can only agree. Quite a lot of engravings are at places that were only painted. It was a pain to fill them. The cockpit area has a wrong shape and the engines - apart from lacking detail - are a lousy fit.
I cross my fingers that it will turn into the beauty she is in your hands.

I managed to get this kit together in a relatively short period of time. The biggest issues I found were the nose sections. They were simply poorly engineered. I found it impossible to get them to work in the down position and had to rebuild most of it to make it look accurate. The rest is just filling and sanding. Overall I like the results this kit makes. Looking forward to seeing what you can make out of it.

I cancelled the tilt. It's inaccurate even when it's straight.

I gave up on the clear parts and puttied everything into a shape that seemed reasonable to me. Cockpit windows will be decals. So I can live with that - at least up to now I believe so 😉
Maybe that would be an option for you too. It is a Concorde after all. You don't just throw it into the bin. 😉

I found the Transport Wings Concorde. Looking forward to slapping that one together.

Karel, you've picked a real challenge. The whole front part with the cockpit is inaccurate and to modify it will be a big challenge!!! I hope you don't give up and finish it successfully.
