My example is not in perfect shape, but it is presentable. This Lockheed Starliner Connie toy has the same wings as the 10" DC-7 and it was sold in an airport set with tin buildings, ground service trucks, and a Pan Am DC-8.

The air stairs is from a plastic model kit.

I have another version that came from the factory as the RC-121D radome Connie too:

In reality the C-121 had the super Connie wings while the Starliner had longer wings with more square tips.
