Default Convair TWA, manufacturer ??

Hi there,

From the USA I have purchased a model of a Convair 880 in TWA colours.
The model has no stand and now that I recieved it, it looks to me as if it is a kit. Well painted, but a kit ... the seller told me that it was given to his uncle who used to be the vice president at flight operations at TWA from some guys at Convair.
The Scale seems to be 1/130 ....
Maybe someone of you can help me from what Kit the model is build.
Please take a look at the pictures. Maybe someone of you can help me.

Thanks
Marc

Looks like a Glencoe kit (old Hawk mould).

Yep, it's a 1/126 scale Glencoe plastic model kit.
