Propellers should be razor sharp and one piece with spinner - that looks more like an AC 1/400 Viscount and much more noticeable in 1/200..
Agreed. They are probably tooled that way so they can swap from the 4-bladed prop to a 3-bladed prop for early versions, or 6-bladed props for the J model.
It also has to be the cheapest/most practical way of creating moveable propellors where there are not detachable nacelles - the only other option here would be a securing ring behind a spinner would be a step too far...?
?..
Back to our previous scheduled programming - Marcus - How about a LC-130 Ski Bird, Can Force cc-130, Delta Widget L-100, NWT L-100 of some of the special forces Herc's?

I agree with Steve about the "gimmicky-ness" of the crew door on the Herc ...
But I will keep an open mind until seeing / holding one in my hands.
Also ... Agree about the many versions of special Hercs ... Ski bird (yes) ... How about a "Spooky" version ... Many others possible
So, will that Concorde nose be a moveable piece or just static?
Its been told around here " JC LISTENS", how about answering back?!
That would be great.
Unless its a secret?!....

Moveable nose, and magnetic gears.

What?! I've been called Riu, Ruy, Ru, ....so if I by mistake used a K instead of a G, does this mean I'm starting some riots here?! Good Lord!
There, I'll say it again;
What! How disrespectful can you be?... you don't really show your true colours until now.
I will now lodge an official discriminating complaint against your offensive remarks on this thread I have had enough!
Disrespectful ? are you serious M8 ?
There is really no need to start a fight here, Rui has a lot of respect here unlike some guys in this unmonitored forum...
relax and take a VB

Wow. Mr Retroguy you have been ruffling the feathers around here lately haven't you. .
As for the Concorde. I guess Ill be getting my first one since it will have the moveable nose. That's if the final model looks good. As for final model. Long shot here, when can we expect the Concorde to be out.?

Correct RJ , but I guess I owe retroguy an apology if he was only joking and not being derogatory. Sorry I didn't get your humor the first time around Rui.
I have tuned the Concorde Livery survey up based on the 15 [thanks all] replies and comments. Please do it again to reflect the changes made and as soon as the inputs dry up, I will post the complete results here. The test showed Pepsi and BA Landor as the front runners.
There was an other livery, the one sported by the F-WTSB to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the first flight.
This Concorde 201 is retained by Aérospatiale and stored at Toulouse.

IF you have answered the survey already and would like F-WTSB to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the first flight ito be one of your "selects" please use the following link https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9RVYWG6. All others doing the survey just have to complete the main one.
Federal Express: A cargo version of Concorde was proposed for FedEx but never built. A joint service to Shannon for packages was proposed with BA in the 80's.
Supersonic FedEx Model of the Concorde
Concorde: Tom had earlier in his career worked a concept team to utilize Concorde supersonic jets to fly packages internationally. One problem was that the emergency manual system for lowering the landing gear was amidship of the jet. The floor would have to be taken up, and pole inserted into a cranking type device to manually lower the gear. With freight on the aircraft this wasn't accessible to the pilots. The team came up with a gear concept that would allow the pilots to take up the floor and manually deploy the gear from the cockpit. A major issue was that to put a cargo door in the Concorde, 3 more bulkheads had to be installed. These jets were going to be leased for 10 years. A requirement by the French was that FedEx had to return the jets in original condition. We would have to remove the cargo door, remove the bulkheads, and relocate the emergency gear extension system back amidships.
QUOTE=Jet-X;1149300]Why is Fedex listed as a livery choice in the survey? They weren't even in business at the time.[/QUOTE]
Check out our new project of 2015,hope all of you will like them!
Both are the first version SAMPLE and there are errors that need to be fixed until the release of the final product, we will keep everyone updated!
Is that C-130 3D printed? or has the tooling been made?
If its only been 3D printed, don't make the tooling. I think the opening side door looks awful.
I am not a fan of fantasies, however that said, I would purchase this very livery of one if it is ever made of a Qantas Concorde for historical purposes, as Qantas placed order for four options in May 1966 then canceled all 4 options. All airliners that placed orders for Concorde should be made - You got to love history! A noisy & fuel gussling beast as was this beautiful aircraft, sales were cancelled everywhere left right an center as Boeing introduced the world the Boeing 747 another option and more capacity. Timing was everything ! Boeing won that battle

Just as a heads up, it looks like those who wanted a kick at desired Concorde liveries have had their say. I will leave the survey up until Jan 31 and post the results here likely on Feb 2. For those who haven't done it, it can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VTD97F2
