I built the Heller Constellation many many moons ago and it is indeed a big model. I'm sure this is nearly as large. Looking at the plastic, it looks like it was molded in a similar manner to the Connie kit (even the same colors). I've always liked the DC-4 / DC-6 family of aircraft. I may have to look for a 1/144 scale to go with my recently completed 1/133 Connie.
