This is a very interesting model that I suspect was made by Topping Models or possibly by Blaine Electronics(San Diego). The model is of a Convair 990 finished in USAF color scheme. Obviously, if your a fan of the CV-880/990 series you know that the USAF never operated the CV-990. I have been told by several major collector friends that I will go to modeler hell if I strip this. Now for the full disclosure issues. The stand pictured is NOT the original stand. I utilized one of my Wesco Models large stands and it works fine. There is a repair on the RH wing root. This repair was well done, but no putty or paint applied. The model was apparently hung from some ceiling as there were screw loops on the top and engine nacelles. With a little clean up touch up this is very displayable. Sale may end at any time as model is advertised on the Austin Texas Craigslist. DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED.
