Heres something for starters .....
The box....a bit battered....
This thing is going to be huge...compared with 1/144 Revell Concorde and 1/72 Airfix JP....
Will be making it in the Landor scheme , not decided which airframe yet though...
As the thing is so big, will be a wheels up and on the stand doing mach 2.02 at 60,000ft , like Colins

Watch out for the engineers panel, it is set too far forward and obstructs the main cockpit glazing.
