Question HM KLM Constellation

In a Dutch webshop I found two of these models: L-749 and L-749A Constellations. At least one of hese is/was an Aviodrome Specials ("The Flying Dutchman"). The other one seems not to be. Is there anyone who has more information on these Hobbymaster models?

I believe HM has confirmed (unofficially) that they produced an off-scale (1/300?) KLM L-749 for a European outfit. Can't recall the details at the moment though. I hope this is an unofficial leak of a new 1/200 tooling!

It did come up once before and it is 1/250 or thereabouts..

1/200 should see a 'new' Connie this year.. it smells as though Western might revamp theirs... If they dont then we will have to beat William up..
