Dc-8

Thanks to everyone for some great ideas. I don't have the skill to do a design myself, but I might be able to adapt the DC-9. It's a thought.

Thanks again!

Jon: there's a DC-8 from Ingenia for sale now on French ebay. Here's the link. It's pretty expensive, 50 euros, so I doubt that anyone will bid against you if you decide to go for it.

Best regards, Tom Greensfelder

Good luck with your project - it's certainly do-able, and worth doing The ebay item Tom linked to is a tad pricey and not a very good kit from what i can see, but with a bit of extra work, she may look ok. BUT i'd go with your first plan.

I sure wish I can build one for my studio it was the first jet I've been as a child, then later was an Convair 880, back in the sixties..

And the scale is very convenient, too bad as I read it ended there.

thanks for the eye candy

After I read through that post I was amazed to find the guy would not release it because of copyright concerns from the airlines. So why not release the model as a blank?

There's a great drawing of a DC-8 here. The thread was posted around a week ago, in another post. it has a DC-8 there.

Returning from Japan while in USMC September'79 We flew on the Flying Tigers stretch 8. Smoked my last cigarette on final to Honolulu. Sure was alot more comfortable than the C-130 with web seats we were in for like 20 hours to get to Iwakuni. Would love a paper kit of that bird. Could be wrong but I think the tail scheme was as picture #1 and it was a passenger setup so the body had windows and stripe like the 2nd photo.

Zathros - You are 100% right! Why not to publish a blank one?
Turning all of that into a joke, I wouldn't say anybody would have any 'copyright concerns from the airlines' in this case...

By the way, how about DC-8 in KLM colours?
There are a couple of paper airliners in KLM colours like: B-747, DC-9, DC-10, Fokker F-27, so there weren't any problems I think?!!
