These two hung in the ceiling of one of the local hobby shops until it closed
They've seen better days but they're still impressive. The 707 is wearing the old Leading Edge decal sheet and the Connie has the long out of production Whisky Jack decal. One of these days I should redo them in current decals. Or maybe I should give them away to the Air Cadets and build something else

Very nice looking kits, I assume they are the 1/72 scale? Good looking job on both of them Jessie! Russell

Yes, they're 1/72. Now you can see why I like 1/144 for larger aircraft...

Hi Jess.
The Connie looks stunning, must dig my Heller kit out the stash sometime. It has to be one of the best looking multi engined aircraft ever built.
Thanks for posting.
All the best.
