A beautiful rare classic TWA release featuring the Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation N7102C in the airline’s iconic 1950s-era colors.
The GeminiJets GJTWA488 represents Trans World Airlines (TWA) Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation N7102C in 1:400 scale. The aircraft is depicted in TWA's 1950s colors, capturing the distinctive four-engine propeller airliner that helped define TWA's international service during the golden age of commercial aviation. GeminiJets confirms the model as a 1:400 Lockheed L-1049G, registration N7102C, and lists it as sold out.
The model was released in 2004 with 1,500 pieces produced worldwide. It uses an Aeroclassics mold, making this an especially interesting early GeminiJets release for collectors of classic airliners and vintage TWA models.

GJTWA488 is an especially interesting vintage GeminiJets release because it represents one of TWA's classic piston-powered airliners rather than the airline's later Boeing and Lockheed jet fleet. The Super Constellation is one of the most recognizable aircraft of the 1950s, and the combination of the TWA livery, N7102C registration, and 1,500-piece production run gives this model strong vintage collector appeal.
