Revell 1:144 Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation (TWA)h

Here she is, in the only livery that makes her look so elegant and gorgeous. Trans World Airlines. this kit actually came with interior parts. such as a console, seats, yoke, even decals for the panel. and I'm thinking "the windows on this thing are so small, who the crap is gonna see anything in there?" so I just excluded the interior parts. the weights and the playdoh wouldn't fit in it, anyway with those parts.

I don't mean to be rude but Do you think you can post some pictures of it without the clutter of your workbench? Its just such a stunning model and the mess is distracting from it.

 

[Trebor]

ugh, that would be SO much more work. LOL

 

[Airframes]

Very nice job Rob! I've always loved the Connie, used to go out of my way, sometimes a very long way, to get a glimpse of one.
Instead of clearing the workbench to get some better shots, it would be a darn sight easier to take the model to another, uncluttered place, and photograph it there! I agree, less distraction would show off the model a lot better, and not interfere with it's beautiful lines. BTW, Revell have just released a 1/72nd Connie, in MATS livery.

Lovely job Rob, you've done justice to a very elegant lady

Ter, I only saw a Heller 1:72nd connie.

Looks great!

 

[Crimea_River]

Super Nice!

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[Airframes]

Ah! Sorry Rob, I might be mistaken, but I'm fairly sure Revell have released one (Heller are now out of business), but I saw a number of new kits announced, so it might be one of a number of Connies released by Minicraft. I'll see if I can find the site where it was advertised.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nicely done Rob!

 

[Trebor]

a lot, all! and good luck, ter
