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!

Yes. Two T.C.A. connies. I do not have the tip tanks for the Lufthansa connie.

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.

It is always good to see some Connies. Nice collection by the way.

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.

Guys....! So sorry I didn't see this before, my bad!......Absolutely gorgeous. I get confused by the number of manufacturers of the large 1049's. I know of Arnold, Tipp, Joustra and Le Mar (the blue MATS version I've only seen on the net.) Did they all have their own tooling or was there a lending thing going on ?

There are 2 different KLM schemes available as well but maybe different factories.

Thanks for posting....would like to see more pics of these. The NW is a cracker too.

Hi Canamwing,

Thanks for starting this thread.

It's really nice to see these classic Lockheed L-1049 Constellations tin model airplanes.



Thanks for posting the pics,

Regards, Robert
