Canalguna Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hi folks, this one from my collection. Homemade decals, automotive paint. LanChile leased a Laker Dc-10 in late 1980, then added four more from PanAm and Air New Zealand. We operated them until 1986 when they were replaced by the "all-new" Boeing 767-200. The Dc-10 was LanChile's first wide-body airliner, flying primarily on high density routes to the United States (Miami, New York, Los Angeles). CC-CJT was delivered new to Air New Zealand on 10.11.77, then started flying with Lan on 13.06.82 before being transfered to American Airlines on 17.06.86. It should be scrapped by now as far as I know. Hope you like it! Ignacio 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchem Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Welcome aboard Ignacio. Cracking build + rare scheme = something rather special. :thumbsup2: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Very nice indeed - excellent work on those very subtle panel lines showing in the white. How you managed that I could not even start to guess. Lan Chile really has gone from strength to strength - you can hardly fly anywhere in South America these days without LATAM being involved it seems. Cheers, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 smashing work there - you've done to old Airfix kit lots of credible justice. Commendable home made decals - I've always got plenty of time for the civil's that turn up on the forum - thanks for sharing John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Brilliant work, the DC-10 was definitely a purposeful looking machine, had a more powerful look about it than the sleeker Tristar. This is a superb build. Eng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1978 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 what a beauty. A very nice looking model of this classic airliner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canalguna Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Thank you all for your kind words. Those subtle lines were accomplished with weathering powders, in that case I think they are worth it instead of rescribing the kit. My father flew this one so I have special feelings for it. I'll be posting some more of the ones he flew as well as some of my own history. The Dc-10 has something wery powerful about its presence, I can't quite describe.

Yep - I totally agree with you - The DC-10 looked the part, powerful and a real workhorse of the skies. The old Tristar had more of a pleasing smiling dolphin look to it whereas the DC-10 might be seen as a mighty shirehorse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
