Default RE: Scratch building 105" W/S Super connie L-1049 G



Hi CONCORDEFAN,

I drove out to the museum today and discovered that they had moved all of the display aircraft into a fenced containment area while the new museum is being built. They have the planes stacked tight. I'll head back over that way next week and see if I can get a better angle for a photo or two.

This Connie was originally a Navy D model. It was recovered from the bone yard in Arizona and flown back here to be painted in the Air Force colors. The tip tanks on the Air Force version were a little different. These are much closer to the civilian version.

Here are three photos. I should be able to get you detail shots later. Just let me know what you need. The majority of the components, Gear Doors, Struts, Props and Spinners, ETC should be very similar to the aircraft you are modeling.
