Catalog description

L-1049SC Eastern Model Airplane, part number TAM149, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $99.99.

The L-1049 is based from the design of the L-49 which began in 1939 to meet the requirements of the Pan American Airways and TWA for 40-passenger airliners for use on domestic routes. During World War II aircraft on the production line were commandeered for service with the USAAF under the designation C-69. By the end of 1949 the demand for air travel was increasing and operators were looking for airplanes of greater capacity. This brought development of the L-1049 Super Constellation with the fuselage lengthened by 18 feet 4 inches and 3400-hp Wright 972TC-18DA-3 Turbo-Compound engines. This stunning replica is crafted from select mahogany and given a smooth finish. The included display stand makes this an ideal model for your home or office collection.
