* - This particular aircraft was previously a DC-8-51 Passenger Aircraft which was later modified to be a Freighter.
A forward cargo door was added, windows plugged and passenger amenities removed. However, the operating
weights are still that of the DC-8-51 and not the heavier DC-8F-54 or 55.

Composition: Handmade (aka From Scratch) Plastic Model

Dimensions: Length: 12.5" (30cm), Wingspan 12" (32cm)

Condition: Mint

History: This is another beautifully hand built model by Brad Shinn. Brad took a regular DC-8-50F model kit and modified the engines to replicate the Stage III noise suppressed engines. This is the only model that I have seen that has accurate looking Stage III engine replicas on it. Many Thanks Brad For Creating Another Distinctive DC-8 Model!
