old BOAC concorde livery

speedbird001 · 01-24-2007, 09:43 PM

Hi, I am just wondering if any one has info on the Concorde often seen in the photo of a Concorde parked,sporting early BOAC blue & white livery. Also is it available as a model?

I can;t answer your first question but I know of 3 diecast models of concorde in BOAC livery.

The first one was made by Corgi in 1969 to early 70's. It is model number 650. Not to the same level of detail as what we enjoy today but quite acceptable. You will occasionally find them on Ebay.

The second one is also by Corgi, but larger and a bit better detailed. It is quite rare but also pops up on Ebay.

The third and lates one is made by GeminiJets in 1/400 scale. It was one of a double set that included one in the last BA colours.

Airfix also made a 1/144 kit in the old BOAC colours.

I am not aware of any in 1/500 scale.
