TheFlyingDutchman Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) I'm not very familiar with the DC-8, so I'm asking you: how likely are they to release the long -60 series as well? Can they re-use most of the parts layout or is it an entirely different airplane? Edited January 14 by TheFlyingDutchman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redracer Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I am doubtful about the DC-8-60 series. While the wing, stabs, landing gear, sos 50 engines could be used, the longer mold and mold base required may be beyond the capacity of their existing molding equipment. I can see a future sis 4O which is a short body DC-8 which they are currently producing with RR Conway engines. I am excited with X models and what they are doing. The list is very long on kits to produce to replace the now ancient Airfix Skyking and Revell early airliners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The Minicraft DC-8 60 series was a very good kit, one of their best 1/144 airliners. Now that the Minicraft tools have been taken over by Academy it wouldn’t be surprising if this sees a rerelease in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I'd prefer darker window decals but still is nice, I'm sure someone has or will have window decals for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
