This beautiful model by Doug Kaye was very inspirational in doing this paint scheme. In my opinion, the Convair and early Boeing passenger jet's symbolize a time period where air travel was at it's best. During this "golden age" flying was stylish and enjoyable, unlike the miserable cattle call experience that we have today. No thanks, I'll just rent a car.
The model's TWA coloscheme is representative of the largest U.S carrier to fly Convair's. I always thought that the American retro paint had a classy look to it.
