Critical Aviator 1/400 collection

[Critical Aviator]

Hello, I have decided to start a thread to showcase my 1/400 collection and plan on doing another one for my 1/500 collection. I was inspired by @Charter and others on this forum. To start, here are Air France Concordes F-BTSD and F-BVFC in 400 scale as well as pictures of their real life counterparts as seen in the Air and Space Museum in Le Bouget, Paris (SD) and Aeroscopia in Toulouse (FC)::

F-BTSD and F-BVFC are joining my first 1/400 Concorde , which is F-BVFB.

I am experimenting on ways to improve my pictures , so feel free to tell me if this picture has better lighting or not.

These are nice! Some cool pics of the real Concordes aswell.
Are these models made by GJ/Socatec? I once had an AF Concorde made by Socatec, using this same mould as your models. I quickly sold it off, actually, because I got it for a very cheap price and could have some profit in the resale. It came in a tiny rectangular box

Thank you ! Yes these are the Socatec Concordes F-BVFC and F-BTSD are on the newer Av400/Socatec mould. I thought F-BVFB was on the older mould since this registration wasn't released on the updated mould until 2020 and I bought FB in 2019 but the details match the newer mould better and the item number on the box matches the 2020 release (according to MADb).

Air France Airbus A300B2 in the delivery scheme by Aeroclassics. I have always wanted an A300B as it is the very first aircraft Airbus made so when Aeroclassics released this Air France one, I knew I had to get it. It's actually the second A300 in my collection.

Air France Boeing 767-200 F-GHGE by Aeroclassics. In the 1990s Air France experimented on bringing back the cheatline on its livery. The cheatline was only applied to a few aircraft, a 767-200 and a 747-400.

Nice photo as usual. I don't like Air France experimental grey cheatline and grey belly. It is something like a nonsense for the perfect and, i must say, attractive Air France snow-white non-livery

Thank you. I can't say I am a big fan of this experimental livery either .
