Postage Stamp Daron Pan Am DC-10 1/400

Nice model of the Connie.

I’ve always admired the Lockheed Constellation. To me it’s one of the most beautiful big aircraft ever made. These “Postage Stamp” models are very detailed and true to scale. They give an aircraft model collector a practical way to get some of their favorites and not take up a lot of space.

The Connie is great it is a little difficult to mount on the stand

This is my first airplane model from the Daron Postage Stamp line. This is the Southwest reg N8556Z Boeing 787-800 at 1:300 (actually 1:310) scale. What’s nice about the model is it’s true to scale on all 3 dimensions: length, width and height. The landing gear is for display only and cannot roll.As a 1:300 model that measures exactly 5 inches in length, this particular product lacks good details in construction and paint job. It’s all-metal which makes it heavy, yet at the same time it feels cheaply made.Oh, I have to mention the base stand! Of the dozens of airplane die-cast models I have, this is the very first one that has the plane seated at a banking angle on the stand! See my photo accompanying this review. It just seems weird, and the stand itself is of poor build quality so any slight movement means the plane model may fall from the stand.

Beautiful little model! Flown the TWA Connie many times coast to coast and Europe. Much appreciated!

Great little model!

Bought this for my 9 year old who collects planes. As soon as he opened it wheel fell off and engine part broke off while removing it from the plastic- not even 5 minutes later another wheel fell off.

Very durable. The landing gear is very detailed and really strong. It’s heavy. Has all the logos and all the small little details. Worth the price compared to other brands.
