This is a very cool Phoenix Models 1:200 Scale Model of this famous cargo aircraft in the colors of Ansett-ANA on the ATL98 Carvair..
Scale 1/200. According to From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The Aviation Traders ATL-98 Carvair was a Douglas DC-4 / C-54 converted by Aviation Traders (Engineering) Limited and designed to carry 25 passengers and 5 front-loaded cars. The nose was replaced with one 8 feet 8 inches longer, the cockpit being raised to allow a sideways hinged nose door. More powerful brakes and an enlarged tail, often thought to be a Douglas DC-7 unit, but actually a completely new design, was added. The engines were four Pratt & Whitney R-2000 Twin Wasp radial engines. The prototype conversion first flew on 21 Jun 1961. Twenty-one Carvairs were produced, with production of aircraft 1, 11 and 21 at Southend (England) and the balance at Stansted (England). The final three aircraft were delivered to the Australian airline Ansett, who supplied their own DC-4s to ATL for conversion, unlike the previous 18 aircraft that were purchased by ATL and sold on. The first flight of the last conversion was on the 12 July 1968. The Carvair was used by Aer Lingus, British United Air Ferries (BUAF) and British Air Ferries (BAF) among others, and was used in Congo-Kinshasa during 1960-1964, under contract to the United Nations. Aircraft for Aer Lingus were quickly convertible between 55 seats and 22 seats with 5 cars. Some aircraft were pure freighters with only nine seats. One aircraft had 55 high-density seats and room for 3 cars. British Air Ferries were the last operator in Europe of the aircraft, keeping them flying into the 1970s - a British United Carvair makes an appearance in the 1964 James Bond movie Goldfinger.
