Airbus A380 and Concorde

Dr. Edmund H. Carus · 12-02-2004, 11:57 AM

Could I please ask SOCATEC when these two models will be available please? The Airbus "House" livery is being changed and this will be shown at the A380 roll-out. Is this to be the livery of the SOCATEC model?

Re. Concorde, are we only to expect Air France models? I personally instigated the preservation of BA's G-BOAC at MAN and we could do with some ACCURATE models of this particular a/c. Remember that there are slight differences between the AF and BA a/c.

Thanks!

Curious - what are the differences between AF and BA Concordes?

The u/c (BA fitted extra debris/water deflectors to their a/c), antennae (larger on French a/c but positioned the same, # of cabin windows (some BA a/c have blanked off windows at toilets/galleys). Also, and this is not a structural point, all of the wheel hubs of the AF fleet are painted pale blue, the BA a/c are aluminium coloured.

Wouldn't a SOCATEC Concorde be a Hogan mould and therefore we might see Hogan releasing other Concordes?

Yes but Socatec gets higher detailed models from Hogan. You will see this with both the Concorde and the new still confidential "House Coloured" A380.

Cheers!
