Solomon’s 1/500 fleet

BA 1011-500 "The Hairy Wheatcraft Rose". BA was the first customer of the 500 variant and this livery is absolutely STUNNING

PA "Clipper Black Hawk". Came across this at a very good price so had to get this even though my main focus is not American carriers.

Tu-144 aka the Russian Concorde. Comparing to the Concorde it is sharper and rougher around the edges, losing the elegance of the Concorde imo. I wish Herpa made a version with the nose down and winglets extended! That would be very unique.

Concorde probably? my fav aircraft of all time. It still amazes me that we could used to fly at twice the speed of sound and get across the Atlantic in less than 4 hours. Hopefully boom supersonic will bring this back to life and brings the next chapter in civil aviation! I am also happy that herpa made the droop snoot stage of the plane which is super unique and iconic

Also the classic AF livery. I think I'm just missing the modern AF livery as well as the other factory prototype in normal config.

Nice collection of supersonic birds Herpa did a good job with the Concorde with lowered nose.
