It would be a shame if they don't get to complete all the models that they wanted at the start. Manfred's Connies have really taken off, lots of repaints already.

Following up on Connie , this model is impressive

Ive been long waiting this one , I wonder , early advertising also mentioned the later L1049 series included , obvious this package is the early type , maybe a continuation and further models to be released building into one very intensive flight simulation aircraft , I hope !
This one still has my Wallet saying ... I WANT IT ! ,
Lockheed Constellation , CONNIE's forever!

EDIT : One thing i did notice in the Video , the dihedral with the nose wheels appear to directly vertical rather than the 3-4 deg slant .

Further update

L749, L1049G and SuperG (optional radar noses and wingtanks), Military including EC121K all to come in more packs.

The nosewheels do have the correct 4 degree negative camber, I can assure you. They were pigs to animate...;>)

Flight dynamics by a certain well-known provider of same and tested and tweaked where necessary by ex-Connie crew and engineers.
