Vintage Builds – Monogram Classic Lockheed Constellation
I don't have any vintage kits built, at least none that I want to take pictures of as they were built decades ago. But I am working on a classic Monogram kit from 1956. It's a Lockheed Super G Constellation in box scale. It was a gift from [...]
Pan Am Lockheed L-1049 Constellation
Pan Am had a fleet of more than 30 L-049s and L-749s, it also leased a few of these L-1049s from Eastern Airlines
Pan Am Lockheed L-049 Constellation Heller 1/72
I originally built this 35 years ago, I removed the landing gear and refurbished it. I'm displaying my models at thepanammuseum.org where I'm curator.

1/144 Super Constellation L1049 by Revell

The build, a typical Revell was simple & [...]
President Eisenhower’s “Columbine III” Heller 1/72 Super Connie
I personally don't think there was a more beautiful airliner ever made than the Constellation, and I like the Super Constellation with its long lean look to be the best of the bunch. Doing it in simple natural metal, as President [...]
