I have a Bachmann Mini-Plane of the TWA Convair also in 1:400, not bad for its time era (Early 70s) when the real plane was on its way out of airline service.

Not that many Convair Jetliners out there. I bought these two Gemini's when they came out because they were always favorites of mine. The Delta is in a display along with a Delta Topping 880, Aurora Delta kit box, and the Hawk Delta 880 kit box. With any luck one of the current manufacturers like Inflight or Gemini will do one in 1/200 so I can see it without my glasses.

Here's my Gemini Jets Delta CV-880. I managed to get the one in the 'widget' livery.

There's a promo film for Delta's 880s on YouTube
