Default Tin Toy Constellation collection
So after nine years of collecting Lockheed constellations I finally found the Lufthansa.

Nice Connies......... I presume they are all the same make? Is it my eyes or do I see two TCA birds in that shot?

Very nice collection indeed! The Air France looks like a French "Joustra"-model - all the other Connies seem to be from "Arnold" in Germany. Does your Lufthansa-Connie have the tip-tanks?



Here are two other Lufthansa-Connies from my collection made by "Tipp&Co" from Germany. One with a friction-mechanism, the other is battery-operated. I love the nose gear on the electric-powered model!

Well....my next obvious question is.....can you part with one?

As an aside, did you ever finish restoring the second Canadair DC4M casting? If you did can you post some pics.

Sorry for soooo many questions.

Regards,

Mark

Hello tcafan, Maybe we can trade for one of the Arnold T.C.A connies? The North Star is not finished yet.

Your six big Connies look AWESOME together, congratulations on having the patience to assemble such a fleet !

Here is a Northwest version with Alps/Fukuda (RF) trade marks.
