About the Manufacturer

Revell has a long standing reputation among scale modellers for well engineered plastic model kits and historically minded subjects. Their kits are aimed at hobbyists who value accuracy, clear instructions and parts that fit together well, whether for display, dioramas or historical collections.

Historical Background

The Lockheed Super Constellation family became a symbol of postwar long range air travel. The L.1049G served as a passenger airliner for carriers such as Lufthansa from the mid 1950s, linking cities on longer routes with a distinctive triple tail and graceful fuselage lines. Lufthansa restored a Constellation ‘Starliner’ for its anniversary, underlining the type’s importance to early transcontinental passenger services.

Model History

As an iconic postwar airliner, the Super Constellation is prized by collectors for its elegant shape and historical role in civil aviation. A well built 1:144 model makes an attractive display piece and a compact centrepiece for vintage airline collections or airport dioramas.
