It’s time to introduce the new Comet in the sky with the only cutaway model to survive.

The 1/20 Lockheed Constellation is an AIR FRANCE model in painted wood produced by M.E.E.

Painting off the ill-fated UAT COMET I

Original paintings of airliner cutaway are rather uncommon to find.

In fact the douglas DC 6 B cutaway never should exist !

The company UAT ordered the Douglas aircraft after the Comet I disaster.  All the jet fleet  came back to the manufacturer De Havilland.

It’s not very hard to figure out what happened to the large UAT Comet I cutaway models.

Travel agent models were a very attractive way to introduce air travel, and later the jet age.

Becoming obsolete, they were put at risk, especially the large propliner.

I restored a lot of models for that reason.

Now, I’m able to create replicas for friends

The french Caravlle by night.

You are right Mothminor, old books and brochures can give some idea of the interior colour schemes.
