peterlepold Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Inspired by the model 1/144 Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-900 Revell (built by Columbia20713) I also show a weathered "airliner". It is the Lockheed C-121C Super Constellation (Revell 1/144), to me the most beautiful airliner ever. I painted the metal finish with model master (testors) "steel", "aluminum" and "chrome". Decals of the '' Fuerza Aérea de Chile '' are my own production. This original photograph of a Connie parked somewhere on an airfield, apparently forgotten, had caused me to make my model worn out. But I did not want to make my model look broken, just worn and dirty. That's the result Best regards Peter 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanfan Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 That's 1/144? That's amazing. Regards, Vulcanfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I agree. A beautiful airliner, and you've built a fine model of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 What superb design of an era of real passenger adventure. A fine build too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyGonzales Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Great aircraft that is. And your model is a very good model of it, and it's a 1/144th scale How great it would be to see a Connie produced in 1/48, especially the Navy types... One of my modelling dreams...

busnproplinerfan Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 One of my faves to. The photo of the weathered one is on conniesurvivors.com. I think another plane taxied into the right wing was the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisTheBear Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Outstanding build and finish on a (relatively) small scale! I think that the photo at the top would be great to replicate in 1/72. DennisTheBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 That's a superb result Peter. The base makes the whole thing stand out really well. Thanks for sharing. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Brilliant work! I agree with sentiments that the Connie is a most beautiful airliner. You've done a fine job, and the display base really sets it off nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
