My model was powered by a pair of AMT Mercury HP's. Great turbine but a little heavy, which meant quite a lump of nose weight was required. Plus it was way overpowered.
If I did another ( Which I really want to do) I would go with two P-60's as I am sure this would power it perfectly and be allot lighter.
It was a light weight model for its size. Even with all my extra baggage, mine was only 43 lbs. I really did enjoy my model and it flew for several seasons here in the Uk and across Europe. It had a couple of idiosyncrasies but once you had masters those it was great fun to fly and presented so well in the air.
Here is a link to the photo of my old model, in its much talked about livery.

Thanks Ali for chiming in n helping out. For a plane that size i would think 43lbs is light weight yet you think AMT Mercuries were on bit heavy side plus all the extras on board her. What would you estimate weight would be with twin P-60 in her?. Since my model will be EDF powered i am trying to get some weight estimates roughly generated at this time what my model will end up being. Was your model 1:15 scale or 1:16th?.
Can also tell me diemention specs of your model if possible as these would really help me with my build.
Was your model in "Virgin Atlantic's" livery as proposed for Richard Branson if he would have been successful to acquire Concorde's fleet for his airline...
