Just a few photos of the finished thing.
This is about to be published soon in Czech Republic, and I was lucky enough (did not feel that way all the time, though) to build both versions included in the kit.
First is later British Airways marking. (This is how the plane ended in the exhibition at USS Intrepid in NY).
The plane is in the takeoff/landing configuration - aerodynamic shield down, nose tilted down and the tiny rear safety wheel out.

The other version is more interesting - it is the only British Concorde in other than British marking. Between 1979 and 1981 it served in joint operation with Singapore Airlines and its port side was in Singapore Airlines livery. The port side was earlier British Airways livery. Pilots were British, cabin crew was mixed from both airlines.
This version is in parked configuration - shield up, nose up, safety wheel up
For the "in supersonic flight" photos, I had to cover up the landing gear, but I could not resist making them
