I have a 1:400 Bachman TWA Convair 880. It's a good model, made of course of plastic. It has retracting landing gear. It fits relitavely well into my collection, for the era when it was built.

I have this model too in about the same condition, minus the baggie.

One more thing: the wheels and struts are black plastic, and the decorations are on clear plastic tape.

The plane is modelled correctly, although the painting on the box top is all wrong - it looks like some member of the 707 family.

Price range should be about $7-$12. Look out for heat warping the plastic wings!
