Cobi Concorde Model

Concorde is a supersonic passenger aircraft. It was an idea by companies operating both from France and the United Kingdom to offer supersonic flights. It first flew in 1969, and seven years later, it was put into service, which lasted 27 years. It flew mostly on transatlantic routes, from London’s Heathrow (British Airways) and Paris’s Charles de Gaulle (Air France) to JFK airports in New York and Dulles in Washington. It reached record speeds; the flight lasted half the time of traditional aircraft. Due to the high production costs and expensive operation, only 20 units were produced. Concorde’s last flight took place on November 26, 2003. From the world of COBI comes a model that features the Concorde G-BBDG supersonic passenger aircraft. This was a test model for British Airways, and for several years, it was used on test flights but never entered service. Over time, it began to be used as a base of spare parts for the other crafts that were in service. Since 2003, the aircraft has been exhibited at the Brooklands Museum (Weybridge). The Concorde brick kit, in 1:95 scale, is accurately mapped using 455 pieces. The plane is equipped with fully operational landing gear. When the wheels are extended, they can be turned.
