Hmmm... might be something there in the black & white prototype group that might bring a lil' bit'o'sunshine to your day...

In it's truest sense it existed in a hybrid scheme (50%-50%) but I suspect we'll also make a couple custom models in full SIA livery...

Excellent work Scott. You want to name the American Airlines one Flagship London and consider the idea of an Air Force One scheme as a fantasy livery. Robert

Lol... Heck yes, Robert, we kinda consider you our major corporate sponsor!

Btw- your models will be trickling in this week... you'll like!

R. Minor · 03-10-2003, 11:10 AM

Very nice looking work...

Hope to see a Braniff...

Serie34 · 03-10-2003, 12:14 PM

These are looking good Scott, I have an impression that they will fly out of your hands at any price, good for you, nice to see good work and imagination

Spider-man · 03-12-2003, 07:59 PM

They look great! btw, where is MEA?

Lol, It'll be there!
Artwork for MEA is completed... I think it may be designated for the 3rd batch of livery releases... You'll probably see a n/c version of it later too=o

The 1:400 Concordes are the business. Will you be exporting any across the Pond to your allies in "New Europe", at least I think we were yesterday, in Britain.
There is a great Concorde site on the net with all the option liveries, and I have also seen some Flight-Sims of Concordes in colours like East African airlines
BOAC is of course my fave airline, I already have 2 different Boeing SST wooden models in their colours (no chance of a 1:400 SST, its not as nice looking as Concorde but has a certain size and ...).
You might find this helpful on colour schemes

manufacturer artwork: In the case of Concorde (not the SST as far as I can find) manufacturer artwork began as early as 1962.
In BOAC's case that means there is artwork for Concorde in the 1962 blue,white scheme, the 1964 BOAC gold (with gold trim on the cheat), BOAC Cunard from 1965.
It does not stop there. Although Corgi and Airfix modelled the Concorde in BOAC colours with grey/silver fuselage and white top, a late ad in 1972 in Flight International shows white all over with BOAC colours (as in your model). However, all BOAC tailfinss have a narrow white leading edge (see any photo), which you may want to include.
I'm sure you know this, but optionhlders include some juicy airlines:
Air Canada (Some good versions here)
Air France
Air India (The famous windows!)
American (lots of scope here for retro)
BOAC
Braniff (all liveries possible, what a feast)
Continental (I have a great picture of Concorde as a 1960s "Goldenjet" in yellow,white and black)
Delta (as seen on this site)
Eastern (again how about the early 60s pre-dumbbell)
JAL (some great versions here)
Lufthansa (again some nice variations possible)
Middle East Airlines
Pakistan International (an English site has amanufacturers mod of this)
Pan AM(already on this site)
Qantas
Sabena (a really nice dark blue scheme up to 1971)
TWA
United

Also being courted in the 70s were Iran Air and CAAC. A paperback novel shows an El AL Concorde, but sadly although they wanted the SST, they rejected Concorde because it was too short ranged.

It can be arranged with prior approval =)
I'll add you to the email notification list...

No-go. The fuselage has to be white for performance specs!
FYI- BOAC is slated to come out in our first set!

Yes... a former COA exec pointed out that the proposed scheme was actually the Goldenjet and not the black meatball indicated on www.concordesst.com . Any chance of you sending a copy of your photo for reference???

ralph morton · 03-13-2003, 09:39 AM

Unfortunately I do not have a scanned copy (it was a cut out from a magazine). However, if you have a shot of the Gemini Jets Boeing 707 in the Continental colours, they were identical, with "Goldenjet Concord(e)" instead of "Goldenjet Boeing 707"
In early material "Concord" was used in British photos/pics

Singapore Guy · 03-15-2003, 11:11 AM

Yes, a Singapore Airlines concorde in full colours would be nice.

N1011 · 03-16-2003, 01:34 AM

Scott, Check out the "what if" section. Deltaflot did a Braniff calder and Air Force One concorde images. Just some ideas. Robert
