For Super Connie Fans Only

I thought we had some Connie lovers here?

They're as old as the airplane. I'd give it a couple days. ;)

Nice videos. Now, how about a Chesterfield? Love the Connie! I've only built one, shown in some thread here last year I think. Maybe I'll do one in 1/72 one of these days, just have to find a kit.

Thanks for sharing.

edit: here's mine. The Revell 1/144 kit. It was a great kit to build, went together very well.

I'm a Connie lover too. I have the Revell-G kit in my stash but it has not made the bench yet.

That has to be one of the most graceful and sleek looking airliners EVER made. It had such elegant lines.

Me too (re: fan)

Beautiful Connie kg4kpg! They pop up on Ebay now and then, that's where I got mine by Heller in 1/72 and it's huge. Imagine if  Revell of Germany would make one in 1/32!

Good videos, thanks.

Connie fan here!

I built a couple of the Heller 749's, and have the 1049 in the stash along with some Ozmod resin domes. But it seems a shame not to do her up commercial.

I never had a chance to ride in one 'cuz I was a UAL brat. But I have seen the one in Kansas City up close.

My second plane ride, in the late 1940's, I believe, was in a Connie from Detroit to Milwaukee.  I was maybe 9 years old.  It was operated by Capitol Airlines.  

My flight out, my first one, from Milwaukee to Detroit, was on a Boeing Stratocruiser operated by Northwest Orient Airlines.

I remember it like it was yesterday!
