This is the Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation. It’s a famous aircraft, more famous than you. Produced between 1951 to 1958, 579 of these beauties were made. 320 belonged to the military, and they were the first to come off the line. This was due to complete satisfaction from the U.S. Military. After all these models were made, commercial use for them began to take place. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Why 3 rudders? Well, if it were to have 1 singular rudder, it could not fit in any hangars. That’s my favorite feature about this aircraft.

nice
@DandruffCat yeah, i had an excellent idea. I recently uploaded an F-86 Sabre with ace camo, and it got more reception than my top plane (absolutely shocking to me). Anyways, i found that the F-86 could be super-customize able in terms of camo. I thought about doing Sabres for special occasions, A Christmas camo for the Sabre....A "Sabre-bration" you could call it XD
@Deloreandude School gets in the way of many things. If it's a good project, it probably won't be finished tonight.
@DandruffCat i know, but most people are taking a quiz on the school laptops or reading a book right now. I have to finish reading Das Kapital, which is for a project for a book we had to choose, by the begging of next week. I have band, a book to read, math, im gonna be flooded with work for the next few days. I have not been posting lately for the same reason, but tonight, im gonna try and finish a project ive been working on here on SP. Probably wont get it done but still.
@DandruffCat still doesn't mean anything :}
@speedyplane It does mean that I have 73.9 times the points of you ;)
@DandruffCat lol just because you got 73.9 times the amount of points I do doesn't mean anything -_- :{
@Deloreandude Lol, you must learn. Aviator was a great film btw.
too bad i cant download it, im actually in school right now and my friend is peering over my computer wondering what im doing. XD
@speedyplane Haha I am superior
Wow, what a beautiful aircraft, The Super-Constellation is among my favorite passenger aircraft. Ever since i saw it in The Aviator, i wondered what it was, then a few months ago i rewatched it and found out. Awesome build, looks truly spectacular! :D
@DandruffCat Nice I noticed on MP yours had TWA logos and my didn't :C lol
