Description

This exquisite die-cast model represents an Air France Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation in the classic livery of the airline. Manufactured by Schabak at 1:600 scale, this miniature captures the iconic triple-tail design and elegant fuselage lines that made the Super Constellation one of aviation's most recognizable aircraft. The model features detailed Air France markings in blue along the fuselage, authentic airline logos, and carefully rendered engine nacelles. The silver and white color scheme reflects the sophisticated appearance of Air France's long-haul fleet during the golden age of propeller-driven airliners.

The Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation was a premier long-range airliner of the 1950s, representing the pinnacle of piston-engine aircraft design. Powered by four Wright R-3350 radial engines, the Super Constellation featured a distinctive triple-tail configuration and gracefully curved fuselage. Air France operated these aircraft on prestigious transatlantic and intercontinental routes, offering passengers luxury travel before the jet age. The aircraft typically measured 35.42 m (116 ft 2 in) in length with a wingspan of 37.49 m (123 ft 0 in) and a height of 7.54 m (24 ft 9 in). At 1:600 scale, this model measures approximately 5.9 cm in length with a wingspan of about 6.2 cm.
