Work intensive, but worth the struggle.

The only way to get a Concorde in 1/72, whether it be as a kit or diecast. Nothing fits, but with some improvisation, research and trial and error, it'll be the most beautiful Concorde models built.

Not a Tamiya

Very surprised when I open the box…all items were not in closed bags. No protection for the canopy. At the price of this item, it’s a minimum. First time that I buy a Heller kit and the last time for sure.
