Heller Concorde Air France — 1:72 Scale Model Kit

Some aircraft are remembered for their size.

Others are remembered for their range.

The Concorde was remembered for something far more extraordinary.

Speed.

Flying at more than twice the speed of sound, the Concorde transformed the idea of commercial air travel. It connected cities across the Atlantic in a fraction of the time required by conventional airliners, combining advanced aerodynamics, powerful engines, and unmistakable French-British engineering.

Heller recreates the legendary Concorde Air France in 1:72 scale, offering modelers the opportunity to build one of the most iconic passenger aircraft ever designed.

With 151 pieces, five decoration options, and a completed length of approximately 865 mm, this kit delivers an impressive display model for aviation enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone fascinated by the golden age of supersonic travel.

A commercial airliner that flew faster than a rifle bullet.

And somehow still looked elegant doing it.

The Supersonic Dream

The Concorde was more than an aircraft.

It was a statement about what commercial aviation could achieve.

Developed through Franco-British cooperation, the Concorde combined a slender delta-wing design, a pointed nose, four powerful Olympus turbojet engines, and a cruising speed of approximately Mach 2.

Its distinctive shape was the result of engineering designed for sustained supersonic flight. The long fuselage, sharply swept delta wings, and streamlined nose created a silhouette unlike anything else in the passenger aviation world.

The Heller kit captures this unmistakable design in 1:72 scale, making it an excellent display piece for collectors of historic aircraft and aviation enthusiasts.

Some airliners were designed to carry passengers.

The Concorde was designed to make time itself seem negotiable.

A Detailed 1:72 Scale Concorde

With 151 pieces, the Heller Concorde Air France offers a rewarding project for modelers who enjoy large-scale aircraft.

The 1:72 scale provides an attractive balance between display size and manageable assembly, allowing the model to reproduce the aircraft’s long fuselage, distinctive wings, engines, and characteristic supersonic profile.

The completed model measures approximately 865 mm in length and 355 mm in wingspan.

That is nearly 87 centimeters of aviation history.

Your shelf may need to negotiate its own landing slot.

The Iconic Air France Livery

The Concorde became one of the most recognizable aircraft in the world, and its Air France livery remains an essential part of its identity.

The kit recreates the aircraft’s elegant white fuselage, blue Air France markings, and distinctive tail design.

The product artwork shows the Concorde in a classic Air France finish, capturing the refined appearance associated with supersonic passenger travel.

The clean lines of the aircraft, combined with its long fuselage and delta wings, make the finished model particularly impressive from a side or three-quarter view.

A classic French aircraft.

A classic French airline.

And a very convincing argument for why aircraft design can be beautiful.

The Four Olympus Engines

The Concorde’s performance depended on four powerful Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojet engines.

These engines were specially developed for supersonic commercial flight and played a central role in allowing the aircraft to cruise at approximately Mach 2.

The kit reproduces the distinctive four-engine configuration beneath the delta wings, an essential feature of the Concorde’s unmistakable silhouette.

The engine nacelles, wing arrangement, and long fuselage create the appearance of a machine designed to move efficiently through the atmosphere at extraordinary speed.

Four engines.

Two times the speed of sound.

And a fuel bill that would probably prefer not to be discussed.

The Distinctive Droop Nose

One of the Concorde’s most famous features was its movable nose.

Unlike conventional airliners, the Concorde used a lowered nose and visor during takeoff and landing to provide pilots with better visibility over the long forward fuselage.

During supersonic cruise, the nose could be raised into its streamlined position, reducing aerodynamic drag.

This clever solution became one of the most recognizable visual characteristics of the aircraft.

The Heller kit captures the Concorde’s distinctive pointed nose and streamlined front profile, allowing modelers to recreate the aircraft’s unmistakable appearance.

A nose designed for speed.

And a cockpit that appreciated seeing the runway.

Five Decoration Options

The kit includes five decoration options, allowing modelers to choose between different finishing possibilities for their completed Concorde.

The supplied decals reproduce the aircraft’s airline markings, registration details, and external decorations.

The box artwork features Air France decoration options, including registration markings such as F-BVFA, F-BVFB, F-BVFC, F-BVFF, and F-BTSD.

These options provide flexibility for collectors who want to recreate different aircraft from the Concorde’s operational history.

Whether displayed in the classic Air France livery or alongside other historic supersonic aircraft, the model makes a striking addition to any aviation collection.

A Centerpiece for Aviation Collections

The Concorde is particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate iconic aircraft.

Its enormous length, distinctive delta wings, and unmistakable profile make it visually different from conventional passenger planes.

Displayed alongside other historic airliners, military aircraft, or models dedicated to the history of aviation, the Heller Concorde brings a strong sense of technological ambition and design excellence to any collection.

It represents an era when commercial aviation dared to ask a remarkable question:

What if flying across the Atlantic did not have to take very long?

The answer had four engines, a pointed nose, and a very expensive ticket.
