Just finished this - great little kit that really flew together.  Outfitted as a US Navy Patrol Bomber, armed with lightweight torpedoes, Sonobouys, and underwing AGM-12 Bullpup missiles.   Built as a tidbit for the Darkmaster's Empires Twilight

Curiously, there was actually a limited number of anti sub versions built for real!

Revell 1/144 Super Constellation - real nice to build, and very easy to modify.

Captain Canada

Very nice ! Does it have the panel lines or did you add them ?

Wow! Great model, makes my 1/72 build look a bit silly. More filler and sanding, I noticed that the middle fin doesn't have any painted black edging lines, that saves me masking this up.

Thanks guys!  All the panel lines are moulded on the kit, I just gave then a gray wash.  Don't feel bad Mr Mcolm, your Connie will be good!  I look forward to comparing notes!

The Connie is always a lovely bird. Those curvaceous lines, woof! Well done.
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

I see a couple of very curious additions on either side of the sonobouy chutes.  Does this bird have warp drive?

Well spotted!  But they are nothing more than extra radio / DF aerials here...
