MEA CV-990 "Red Tail" (1:500)

The Convair 990 Coronado was a jet airliner produced by the Convair division of General Dynamics, a "stretched" version of their earlier Convair 880 produced in response to a request from American Airlines. The 990 was lengthened by 10 feet, which increased the number of passengers from between 88 and 110� in the 880, to between 96 and 121 (depending on the interior).
