That's exactly my suspect.
Re.2005 was a very rare bird, WWII color photos are quite uncommon, so putting two and two together ...
Anyway, true or fake, the picture is nice!![]()
I have to give the ultimate props to the Connie. My Grandma was one of the first stewardesses aboard the Constellation, and my Grandpa was a TWA ground mechanic; they met while both working at TWA. I literally owe my existence to this plane.Originally posted by LEBillfish:

Model Kit .. be sure ....
The "grass" under the aircraft even looks a little like that fake grass matting models are displayed on.
Also look at the "hinges" on the rudder.

Actually, now that you mention it there is a dead giveaway in the picture!
The photo background shows a rocky and sparsely grassed area, and yet the plane stands on a lush, squared block of grass!
It looks like its a photo of exactly the model youve found, with a photo pasted onto the back side of the display as a 'wall'
