rkranias Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 This is an interesting clip on The First Air Force One (think Ike). The Lockheed Constellation is one of the most beautiful multi engine a/c designs ever. Truly a multi-role a/c Enjoy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphSarc Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Love the Constellation!! Would love to see a 1/48 scale kit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffy Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I would love to see it in that scale too. Do you know if anyone has made 1/72 scale L-049 aftermarket engines? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 They should donate it to the Smithsonian or the AF Museum. I applaud their efforts, but they’re out gunned by the elements alone. Beautiful and graceful airplane. I do have the three different 1/72 kits put out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Fisher made some cowlings and improvement parts for the Heller kit, but unfortunately, those are gone with the destruction of Paul’s house and workshop in the Paradise fires. Maybe you can find some on eBay and the likes, but all Fisher items now call for insane prices… HTH, and, btw, Hubert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a video of it the other day where they have it flying now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFyq85TliUA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
