Western Models UK Classic Airliners 1:200 scale EL AL Lockheed L-749 Constellation, catalog number CA14G, registration 4X-AKA.

Beautiful vintage metal airliner model finished in classic early EL AL Israel National Airlines colors with blue nose and cheatline, Hebrew and English EL AL markings, Israeli flag tail markings, and registration 4X-AKA.

Model includes its original red Western Models box and molded clear plastic protective insert. The box label reads CA 14G / L-749 / EL AL, and the molded insert is marked for 1:200 scale.

Model measures approximately 7-1/2 inches wingspan, 5.58 inches long, and 1-1/2 inches high. Model weight is approximately 0.42 lb.

The aircraft presents extremely well and retains excellent color and detail. Landing gear is present, all four three-blade propellers are intact, and the distinctive triple-tail Constellation configuration is complete.

Condition: Excellent pre-owned collector condition overall. One propeller blade appears to have loss or absence of the yellow tip paint; the propeller blade itself is intact. Minor age-related cosmetic wear may be present. Original red box shows light storage/shelf wear. Please examine the numerous close-up photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the condition description.

Western Models cataloged this release as a Lockheed L-749 Constellation. For aviation-history collectors, the actual EL AL aircraft carrying registration 4X-AKA had an especially interesting early Constellation history and is documented as a converted Model 49/C-69 aircraft.

Included: model aircraft, original molded protective insert, and original labeled red box. No separate display stand is included.

This is a scarce and attractive early EL AL subject and an excellent addition to a Western Models, Lockheed Constellation, Israeli aviation, or 1:200 airliner collection.
