Constellation model de Cubana de Aviacion. These models were
made out of plastic and reinforced or filled with resin,
this is not one of those flimsy models. Individually
hand painted to perfection. It was built to precise scale
and painted according to color photographs of the actual
airplane. Absolute satisfaction guaranteed!
This is the last Constellation we have, we are
discontinuing the sale of assambled models because of the
risk and difficulty of packing and shipping.
The price of this model and size was $195, we have reduced the
price drastically way below our cost because one of its
wings and the tail had hair line cracks and loss of paint
in 2 cm. area that have been retouched.
Upon close detailed handling and examination the cracks
can be noticed.
The cracks are not visible while the model is in normal
display position on its stand.
Wingspan: 11.50"
Lenght: 10.50"
Your model will arrive safely packed in "a box within a
box" package, and fully assembled except for propellers
that you must slide its shafts in the motors, the display
-stand has a hand screw that firmly secure the model to
the stand. No tools of any kind required.
Brief Constellation history: Perhaps the most beautiful
airliner ever flown, the Lockheed Super-G Connie was the
airplane that opened Europe to the hoards of postwar
American tourists that could not or would not spend the
time and money to cross the Atlantic by ship. The L-109
was the first airliner with sufficient speed and range
to be termed inter-continental.
The Lockheed Constellation (Connie)was one of the most
graceful airliners ever placed in service. With its long,
sinuous fuselage and gently tapered, upswept wings, the
sleek Constellation suggested a seagull in flight.
Another distinctive feature of the Constellation was its
triple rudder assembly. This feature was in marked
contrast to the more conventionally designed single-fin.
