Convair CV440 Metropolitan (Condor 1958)

Step back to the dawn of German package tourism with this historically accurate decal set for the Convair CV-440 Metropolitan in the original Condor 1958 livery.

Condor Flugdienst was founded in 1955 as a subsidiary of Lufthansa, created specifically to serve the rapidly growing West German holiday travel market. In 1958, when this livery was worn, Condor was still finding its identity — operating a small fleet of propeller aircraft on leisure routes that were opening up a new world of affordable travel for postwar German families. The Convair CV-440 Metropolitan was one of the aircraft that made this possible, and the early 1958 Condor scheme, pre-dating the carrier's later jet-age identity, is almost never reproduced in decal form. For collectors of German aviation history, this is a rare opportunity.

This decal set faithfully reproduces the complete 1958 Condor livery: fuselage titles, early Condor color scheme, registration markings, and full window lines — all researched from period photographic and archival sources.
