For Super Connie Fans Only

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!

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.

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.

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!

Me too (re: fan)

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

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

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