How big would the sleek 1950s Pan American Lockheed Constellation be in 1:43? 😉

The L-1049 Super Constellation was 114 feet long, so a 1:43 would be 2.65 feet in length.

Odds of my wife agreeing to a diorama on the diningroom table are in Powerball territory.

re measure the scale

All of the Pan Am connies were early model 049s, a few 749s were operated for a very short time. This model comes in at 95ft in length. I think they had a few 1049s on lease from time to time. Please excuse my nit picking. I love that Ranchero.
