Customer Reviews
Iconic Delta Airlines Lockheed L-749 "Connie"
Another great reproduction in 1:200 scale from Western Models of the Delta Airlines Lockheed L-749 "Connie." WM did a nice job on the landing gears and the way the model sits. The shape of the fuselage was nicely done from nose to tail. Everything on the model lines-up correctly and the Tampo applied paint graphics are super. The propellers spin freely as does all the wheels, no binding on this model. If you love the Lockheed Constellation and like it even more dressed-up in the "Delta" colors, don't hesitate to add this one to your collection. In my book... "anything Delta" is just fine, I'm glad it's part of my fleet! Review by Tony G. (Posted on 7/18/2011)
Western Models Delta Airlines Lockheed L-749 N88868 868 (cn 2067)
This model was issued at the same time Western Models released another Delta L-749 with the Delta and C and S colors. Western Models has a nice L-749 mould but I think they could add a few more details on a model this size that would give it something a little extra. Landing gear look good on this model, including the nose gear which has much more details than previously issued WM models from the old company. The airplane had big tires and this is well depicted in the model The model has a scaled antenna, spinning props and rolling tires. The window printing and cockpit shape appears good. WM has captured the nose shape very well. On the tail, the passenger entry side of the aircraft depicts the American flag but I think it "blows" the wrong way on this side of the model and the stars should be on the left as you face the flag. This plane was delivered new to Pan Am on May 25, 1946 as "Clipper Peerless". It was sold to Delta in 1956 and then to American Flyers in 1960. Many By 1970 propliners sat at airports all around the country awaiting their fate. This one never flew again and was finally broken up in 1974 This one was seen at the Galveston, TX airport July, 1970. Review by James F (Posted on 3/13/2011)
