Actually think it might look good in French colours......tan, 2-tone green over light blue.

The standard Mirage IV camo would look natural on the Concorde as I think about it:

Of course, if all else fails, there is sand and spinach:

One seldom goes wrong with sand and spinach.

Can someone do graphic showing tanker version refueling an Avro Lincoln ?

You sure it's a Lincoln you want?  The Concorde would be close to a stall whilst the Lincoln would almost have to be in a vertical dive to keep up.

Can fudge a bit on speed concern.  After all, this is BTS where many things are possible.

An early step towards Concorde...the AWP.13:

Never got around to finishing this because I couldn't work out how to do the hull. Anyhow, you get the idea: BAe Narwhal 1/144th scale supersonic flying boat with a recce drone made from a 1/72nd Bloodhound. Really needs to be in a diorama with a support aircraft that's a BAe-146 with USB and ACLS...



The nose angle would be prettier and more blended if it had ever got past this mockup:

For the hull, look at some of the things the Soviet designers considered for supersonic flying boats.   I know there's some articles out there as I remember APR running something about them.

[Diavel]

How about a SHADO interceptor

Or a Soviet high speed interceptor

This reminds me of some of these designs:

I picked up two Revell 1/144 kits for parts and scale-o-rama. Google found another one from our own very Mr. Alvis 3.1:



The BAC/Republic F-114 Napa

[finsrin]

Is so fine      Even shocklingly so 
Is that ADC emblem on tail ?

For that build, you can drop your peanut shells on the floor.....

[LemonJello]

That F-114 is seriously cool!

WWWOOOWWW!

Can I post Tu 144 ideas in this thread?

Yep!  I already did back on Pg1

And if you're west of its departure point you can get it before it was even collected!

I first saw this mentioned on Aeroscale this morning during my routine perusal of the modelling interwebz:



New 1/72 British Airways Concorde from Revell of Germany http://www.revell.de/en/products/model-building/aircraft/civilian-aircrafts/id/04997.html

Since seeing this, I've been pondering acquiring one and then to scale-o-rama it to the One TRUE Scale as a competitor to the B-1B. 

edited to correctly identify The One Scale to Rule Them All...1/48

Why do you need to scale-o-rama it when it's already in the One True Scale

The Concorde is already the same size as a B-1B, or the XB-70, here's a pic with it beside the XB-70 --- and I shortened the Concorde by 2" (51mm)

I stand corrected, I meant to type the One TRUE Scale, and not the inferior One True Scale...it has been edited above to reflect that.

I'm thinking of a three-seat tandem arrangement (pilot/navigator/weapons systems officer) add a couple of bomb bays, close up the passenger windows, maybe put a v-tail on it.  Really, there's so many possibilities.  Plus, how cool would it look int MNF over anti-flash white sitting next to my SR-71, SR-75 and B-1B?

[GTX_Admin]

I like your thinking…and your commitment to the one TRUE scale! :)  Speaking of which, don't forget this:
