Concorde G-BBDG, model, 455 parts

Concorde is a supersonic aircraft with a jet engine. It was the result of an idea for supersonic transport implemented jointly by companies from France and the UK. It was first flown in 1969. Seven years later, it was introduced worldwide for 27 years.

Concorde flew mainly on the transatlantic route. From London Heathrow (British Airways) and Paris Charles de Gaulle (Air France) to JFK Airport in New York and Dulles in Washington. It reached record speeds; the flight took half the time of a conventional aircraft. Only 20 aircraft were produced due to the high cost of production and expensive operational work. Concorde's last flight was on 26 November 2003.

The model made from COBI blocks shows the Concorde G-BBDG supersonic aircraft. It was a test model in British Airways colours. It carried out test flights for several years and never entered service. Over time it was used as a spares base for the regularly flying Concord in the fleet. The aircraft has been on display at Brooklands Museum (Weybridge) since 2003.

This new COBI model has been faithfully reproduced with 455 parts from the original. The model has decals and is equipped with retractable landing gear. When the wheels are extended, they can be turned. The rudder is also movable.

The authentic-looking model is sure to meet the expectations of flight enthusiasts, collectors and children.
