I was just wondering, are you going to sell them or are they flying straight to E-bay for bidding? and how much would each one of these cost?

Currently production is set at 12 models each of the "Livery Collection" of 20 schemes (240+ total!)...

Plus prototype schemes, special liveries, etc will be available seperate of the livery collection... including a veeeery special commerative Concorde model!

Priority to our current customers, 20-model set subscribers, other direct sales and you might even see a few on the market...

Details soon...

I am all over these beauties.... Even as having a direct connection to the pipeline in China I would not miss out on this once in a lifetime collection!

If you are even thinking or hesitating about this, do it!!!!! you wont be sorry. I have bought models from Scott before and
the quality is second to none...

Once again great job Scott and Stacy!

Scott,
Check the Continental spelling. I usually don't notice these things, but the CO caught my eye, as well as the EA and the AA.............drool. They are awesome looking!

Just a FYI about our Concorde Livery Series of 20 models...
http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com...?threadid=25829
http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com...?threadid=25828

Any remaining unsold/ unallocated models from the first set of four models (limited to 12 each) as of midnight MST Monday become subject to open market sales (ie: auction $)... so if anyone was considering all or even just a few of these Concordes don't hesitate cause we know what happens to their prices on ebay, etc... I encourage folks to get them while they're still reasonable.

Post Duplicate policy...

Re: DW announcement: Can't believe it.... today Dragon announced their new
Concorde mould TODAY and showed a SIA model (full or hybrid???) on their
site and listed Braniff and PA for 2003 ... maybe they were inspired by our
project? Anyway, I'm not sure they have the licenses, nor market demand to get anywhere near to breaking even on that investment... but hey, if they actually put a couple of models out here (which I'm doubtful about... uh, maybe one.) ... fine with all us collectors out here!
Anyway...
CUSTOM MODEL POLICY- *ANY IDENTICAL CONCORDE AIRLINE LIVERY MODEL OFFERED IN OUR CONCORDE "LIVERIES COLLECTION" SERIES THAT ALSO BECOMES A REGULAR DRAGON RELEASE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF OUR ISSUE CAN BE EASILY RETURNED FOR LIVERY CONVERSION OR EXCHANGED FOR AN AVAILABLE ALTERNATE LIVERY MODEL !

RE: Gemini Concordes: Hays Custom Models has a wonderful relationship with Gemini Jets... 90% of our custom work is created on GJ models! In fact, one of the few complete 20 model Livery Collections has been ordered by one of GJ's principles! And we routinely consult with them and encourage their feedback and guidance when engaging on projects such as this... So we have carefully planned our Concorde liveries series not to overlap any planned GJ releases!
Hmmmm... AF new colours and ???? ???... You'll actually find our custom Concordes are quite complimentary to Gemini's production releases... well, because we're able to create many Concorde liveries that GJ is unable to embark upon...
Oh, the same alternate model return/exchange policy applies to GJ releases... well, should they need to change production strategies! =)

Thank you...
Now please return the Stewardess back to her original, upright position...

Gemini has only released 2 Concorde's (so far) I wonder if they have broken even on their investment.

Default Concorde sets

Hi Scott,

Nice efforts you've made there ....I'm sitting here thinking should I delve and order a complete set ...BUT one thing is holding me back!! I can appreciate the awful amount of research and work going into these fine model livery conversions but I've noted that the British Airways example that you have shown in one of the group of pics is 'unfortunately' completely wrong.

I hate to say it but on initial inspection of the model, the title 'British' should be below the cheatline and not on the upper fuslage....I would also like to see the 'British Airways title rather than just the 'British' version. The other area of concern is the tail livery looks completely wrong..please take alook at the pic which I've just located at Airliners.net curtesy of Howard Chaloner.

Otherwise fantastic models....after 'moaning' so to speak, may I ask what the cost of a set is and also which variations of liveries would you supply?

Cheers Scott,

PS don't take the critisism to much to heart, just my first observations.

Best regards,

Dave.
