5 Months ago I posted a Lockheed Constellation L1049. I felt that it was time I re-create it but this time chose the Super Constellation L1649 to reflect the improved design. VTOL slider either way to stow the gears, enjoy!

I don't know why I keep coming back to this plane and I don't know why I didn't rate it before.

@traindude48 You can remove these and save as a component but the intake won't go with it because they were attached to another part of the body before I moved them. There is an attachment point on the left and right. You need a VTOL engine to run them.

@Scriefers I do the same quite often, it's amazing how much people have improved and especially when you see a build that someone has done in the early days and has re-created it again recently. How their building style has changed and how we have all taken advantage of the ability to part clip, mod and other tricks to make our builds look and fly even more realistically. I get a lot of enjoyment from playing this game, from my own as well as other peoples builds and being able to take part in what is clearly a great community. So long as that lives on, I don't intend to stop being a part of it.

This is definitely my favourite real plane so I put my heart into making it as nice as possible and was really happy with how it turned out.

@Authros beautiful plane, I was wondering if you could make me a prop middle part with 4 bits I could attach wings to? I'm thinking of possibly making a prop power boat!

Every now and then I go through user's collections (especially replica builders) to see what they've done before but mainly to appreciate the progress we've made since our very first uploads. The progressive increase in quality/creativity amazes me and is truly inspirational. This Constellation is a testament to that notion. You've always been one among my favorite contributors in this game, Authros! Keep at it!
