My apologies - this is something very important that I completely forgot to give. Sorry.

                                                                                                                   EXPORT          EU SALES PRICE

                                                                                                                    PRICE            (INCLUDES VAT)

Not sure. All I know is that it's been there several years. I think it was used in a movie.

And here are the pix, shot 9 May 2012 at Gainesville Municipal Airport, Texas (GLE):

The first flight of the prototype Douglas DC-7C Seven Seas (N70C) took place at Santa Monica on 20th December 1955.

These links are to photographs of the prototype :

It appears to have the pointed radar nose, but I leave you to decide.

 

A photographs of the resin long-range or saddle tanks is shown below.

You, probably ...

Well I could be as I have a completed fuselage but I won't be getting my bits till the "ides of march" and will depart for the UK late May... and have a few events in between and my mojo isn't what it used to be.  I'll give it a shot though!

The 7B engine exhaust section os different and is being cast now - they should be delivered by the end of March and hopefully sooner.

I don't think so. You can, however, place items on backorder, and once they are received, Hannant's will automatically charge them to your account (provided you have created an account and set up a preferred method of payment) and send them to you. Or, once you have been notified that the items have been received, you can move them from "backordered" to your shopping cart and add any other items you wish at the same time and pay for them all at once. But they will not hold things for you indefinitely.

Kinda figured that. I'll hold on as long as I can until the -7B parts come in, trying to avoid paying the shipping twice.

As I said before, according to the Hannants website, the DC-7C conversions sold out in three days which was good commercial news for us.

 

It is not a problem however because more 7C conversions will be delivered at the same time as the 7Bs.

 

So there is nothing to be concerned about.
