1/200 Lockheed L-1049 BOAC “N6504C”

Description

This is a die-cast metal and plastic display aircraft.

From the Hobby Master website:

As a response to the Douglas DC-4, Lockheed developed the Constellation. As more powerful engines were developed the Constellation was stretched 21 feet and improvements made resulting in the L-1049 Super Constellation. The development of the L-1049G improved range with the addition of wing-tip tanks. The more powerful engines made it necessary to use large propellers that required the aircraft to sit quite high off the ground. A triple tail was developed because the size of a single tail would have been too large to fit in any hangar.

A high quality die-cast model from Hobby Master of the Lockheed L-1049 “N6504C” BOAC, Heathrow, London 1955. Includes display stand.
