Yes, after a long hard fight, I can now declare this bird done! This is the 1/72 scale Revell British Airways Concorde SST. It's got 11 coats of white and clear on it. The nose had broken when this fell a few days back, so I glued it in the raised position, mostly because I like the way it looks that way: This beastie is nearly three feet long, so it was darn near impossible to photograph! These are the best I can do for now. Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome!

A three feet long model, with that size wings.. and then 11 coats of white and varnish.. how many bottles did you use?? But it sure is a fantastic result...

Thank you Bert! I used about three full-sized Rustoleum-sized spray cans. Lots of paint! Thank you again for the compliment!
Thank you Jeff!
Thank you Paul! It is huge; made it most difficult to maneuver on the workbench!
Thank you Steve! It's beautiful from three feet away, any closer and you'll see the numerous warts in it's beauty/

You got to admit it is a beauty. 1/72 and it’s still three feet long!!
One to be proud of, dukemaddog.

Fine looking Concorde, Duke! I always thought these looked so cool when the "Mach Windscreen" was deployed.
