It is my understanding that the current Aeroclassics Super Constellation is in fact a newish tooling,...or perhaps more accurately an upgraded tooling from the old Aeroclassic/Western Models Super Constellation?
First off,...is this correct?
Secondly can someone provide a list of releases, with the new tooling please.
I have National, Real and Cubana. But I don't know when this tooling came out?
Ta.

mmm think you missed EASTERN SILVER N101A GREAT SILVER FLEET TITLES. + N110A FLY EASTERN AIRLINES TITLES with GSE. Though I think these are the smaller Connie, not super.
I got 110A.
but I think from 2017 blue angels are on current mould. So 8 released so far? would love a KLM + VARIG, BOAC, PAN AM.

Excellent Argosy and I thank you. The new tooling is older than what I expected and clearly I have missed out on a few, due to popularity and the limited runs.
Once again, thank you.

These 749's have been stunners since AC/WM started pouring the metal several years ago...Varig's 1049's, BOAC and PAN AMERICAN 749's have been previously released as well...only detractor on these molds has been the lack of cowl & nacelle details...but overall, the sheer beauty and mold quality easily makes that a moot point

Thank you Argosy for these lists, given that DAC database is unfortunately far from being updated.
Just allow me following slight amendments:
- L1049 TRANSCANADA is CF-TEV iso CF-TEZ (polished)
- L 1049 TWA is N7102C iso N7120C
- L 1649 AIR FRANCE/JAL is F-BHBQ iso F-BHBW
What will be next to come ??? for me, A L749 Californian Hawaian, or L749 Air Algérie, .....and why not the L049/C69 NX25600 ?!

Bonjour Dominique.
I have a beautiful and very interesting model made by Martin Beacom.
It is the prototype of the Super Constellation.
Initially, it was the first prototype of the Constellation C 69, it became XC 69 E when it was re engined and after receiving various equipments.
It was sold to Howard Hugues in 1945 and registered NX25600.
Hugues sold it back to Lockheed in 1949, the aircraft was modified to make the prototype of the L 1049 Super Constellation.
The fuselage was stretched, the aircraft retained the cockpit and round windows of the Constellation and the small vertical fins.
Wow Jean Pierre that is awesome model I do love that prototype Connie. I was also looking at a Martin Beacom Ansett Australia 1:200 diorama Viscount model with doors L1 & L4 open from ARD when I joined this forum in 2009 but could never afford the pounds Sterling on ARD at that time and the model has found a good home as I have never seen it since. Here is CA 14F Qantas L749 c/n 2573. " Sir Charles Kingsford Smith" VH-EAD

Thanks DLSAN for corrections.
Had a look at my database and they were correct so made mistake typing them out!!! Must be getting old
Nice to see these latest Super Connies being released after a lengthy gap.

Nice to see these latest Super Connies being released after a lengthy gap.
Getting old also means that most of us would have seen Connies once flying and this is unforgettable souvenir! and what a renewed pleasure when opening the box of a newly released Connie, be an AC200 or a HM.
By the way, discovering an old production of Mike Stephens is the summum, but there is a long long time that havnt happened.....my graal is the CA19D L1649 TREK AIRWAYS.
