Description
This exquisite Corgi die-cast model captures the iconic Concorde in British Airways livery at 1:400 scale. Manufactured in China as part of Corgi's Limited Edition series, this two-piece set showcases the legendary supersonic airliner with meticulous attention to detail. The model features the distinctive white fuselage with British Airways' red and blue tail livery, complete with accurate markings and registration details. Each piece is precision-crafted with die-cast metal construction and comes in a presentation-quality display box, making it a prized addition to any aviation collection.
The Concorde remains one of aviation's most remarkable achievements, having served as the world's only successful supersonic commercial airliner. Capable of cruising at twice the speed of sound (Mach 2.04), the Concorde could cross the Atlantic in just under 3.5 hours. The aircraft featured a distinctive delta wing design and a drooping nose for improved visibility during takeoff and landing. With a length of approximately 62.1 meters (203 ft 9 in), a wingspan of 25.6 meters (84 ft), and a height of 12.2 meters (40 ft), this engineering marvel operated from 1976 to 2003, primarily serving routes between London, Paris, and New York.
