In 2007, 2008 and 2009 the real Constellation kit was offered in
always by the same seller. He claimed the three copies
originated from the company archive which has been closed down
after the bankruptcy of HAUSSER in 1983.

The first went for EUR 1,239.- (I repeat in words:one thousend
two hundred). I did not store data for the other auctions but I'm quite shure they went for more than EUR 500.-.
Too expensive for me just for satisfying my historical
curiosity so I did not buy one. |

The
gaming instruction of the the board game
Flight Around the World which is
printed on the inside of the boxtop includes an ad for the Super
Constallation kit. See my translation on the right. I compute a
scale of 1:86.63 from the numbers quoted there which rounds
to 1:87. |
The SUPER CONSTELLATION pictured on the game-box currently is
the most beautiful and most modern airliner of the world . It is
offered by us as a kit via toy dealers in a scale matching a HO
train. Wing span is about 43 cm (= 37,25 m in large-scale
technology).
