WOW that is a gorgeous build!! I’ve always enjoyed the Connie, she is an interesting bird with great history, your build does it great justice…are those resin stairs? or scratchbuilt?

Thanks, Heath. The stairs came with the kit.

Fantastic build! You’ve really done this bird justice. NMF and paint has always been a challenge and you have pulled it off beautifully. Keep up the good work and thanks for the peek.

Great build! Have you seen the Constellation in Aussie? It’s called “Connie” as well! [:D]
Cheers,
John

Yes John, I watch a show on TV of a crew restoring her, and then flying her from the states. Very good program to watch.

Oh, yes please…
The Constellation and Super Constellation were simply the ultimate in Piston engined commercial transport…
Great looking model. Well done.

Nice looking Connie mate. Here’s a pic of the Aussie one that John Forster was talking about. I took it at a recent airshow. I live not far from where it is based, and see it everytime I drive past. Thanks for the pics.

May I say that that is a fantastic bird youv’e got there. I am working on the EC-121 which is the miltary version of the connie. Mine is 1/72, is that bird 1/72 as well?

It’s fantastic, simply fantastic !

Very nicely done. Great job on the NMF & white, two finishes I struggle with still. Thanks for sharing.

14

Very nice build, Leon! The Connie is a majestic plane, and you’ve done it justice.

Really, really nice job on the Connie. I love the TWA markings. NMF and white finishes are difficult by themselves and extremely tough when done on the same airframe. You did well.
