About this deal

The very nice large display stand will be very useful during the build in any case as this is NOT a small model. You can see our selection with the essential glues and paints or the full range..





Size of the model (inches) : 19.4 x 8.1
The finished model is eye-catching, mostly because of the subject. Serious modelers will want to take more time than the 45 hours I put into mine to improve the fit, clean up mold marks, and perhaps try to make the hinged nose work better. The French company produces plastic and acrylic models of different scales. Specifically, the scales are 1/400, 1/125, 1/72 and 1/35.

Along with the soft detail comes notquite sharp edges to the parts, resulting in seams on most components that need to be filled. Take care assembling the engine pods as all the parts are handed.

Airfix | No. A50189 | 1:144

Since 1957, the Heller brand has made a name for itself in the RC modeling sector thanks to its quality models. Faced with precursors such as Airfix in the 50s, the company Heller stands out and positions itself as a competitor in the market. The scope, presentation, and finish of its models ensure a place of choice in front of others. What are the specialties of the manufacturer Heller? It is a ready-to-be-assembled model of the legendary Concorde. Paint, brush and glue are provided. This aircraft beats all altitude records, 21,000 meters. France and England each designed a supersonic aircraft in 1956. The two projects merged in 1962 and the first prototype was released in 1967. A large six-piece stand is an option, and the kit can be built with landing gear up or down. Provision is made for the Concorde's droop-nose feature. Panel detail is recessed, but soft. The plastic, too, is soft and a bit rubbery. In its line of paints, the heller paint color chart has a high quality acrylic range and well covering. The plastic main landing-gear struts are fortified with metal rods. The main wheel well doesn't fit tightly to the wing bottom, but the main doors hide most of the mismatch.

In 1961, these studies resulted in two separate projects, which merged on November 29, 1962 into a single project involving four main companies: Aérospatiale, BAC, Rolls-Royce and SNECMA. Concorde had already broken records for altitude (21,000 m) and speed (March 2.2). On January 21, 1976, a new era of commercial scheduled air transport opened under the colors of Air France and British Airways. W time, the brand's collections multiply with eclectic scales. In addition, these types of products are rapidly diversifying: Arguably the most beautiful aircraft to rise from a runway, the supersonic Concorde airliners were recently retired. A traveler able to afford a Concorde flight enjoyed a trans-Atlantic crossing in a bit more than three hours. The graceful deltas were expensive to operate and their sonic booms forced the carriers to restrict supersonic speeds for the over-ocean portions of their flights. Clear parts are reasonable clarity but on this sprue is the drooping nose mechanism, which I don’t intend to even attempt to play with.All heller 1/72 models and scale models are manufactured in Trun, France. With a catalog that counts more than 300 models, Heller is known for its miniature models. Moreover, its line is suitable for beginners as well as modeling professionals around the world. What types of Heller models are there? This kit has a reputation as a ‘beast’ of a build with poor fit, warping, inaccuracies and major steps in the joints among the list of difficulties faced, not one for the inexperienced it seems and perhaps why many kits languish in the stash for so long.
