LF: 1/200 Doyusha/Nitto DC-8 kit

[scorvi]

I am looking for the Doyusha/Nitto 1/200 DC-8 model kit. I only need the plastic so box, decals and instructions are not important.  WIll consider a started one but depends on work done??

 

IF anyone has one to sell or trade (I have both 1/48 & 1/72 kits and aftermarkets) please email me directly:

I am in the USA

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Concerning this kit, as it is a -61 series. (wingspan 142.4 ft - 43.4 m)

Would anyone know how the wing is longer to get a -63 series (wingspan 148.4 ft - 45.2 m). Is it an insert before the tip, or an added part at the tip, making it longer and thinner ? 

A diagram showing the difference would be welcome. I did search for one but could not succeed.

(As for the engine pylons shape if possible).

Thank you .

There's a DC-8 wing diagram on page 3 of this thread:

Thank you very much indeed. Very helpful.

The topic title doesn't really lead to a DC-8 query, does it ?

Nope, and I only found it after trying different image searches on Google!

Again, many thanks to Scott for his helpful research for this document.

There she is now waiting for a livery...

 

If any one should use this diagram, please note that the drawing shows the real wing size, not a model kit wing itself as on a model, a part of the wing/body fairing is in some cases (here - Doyusha/Nitto 1/200- ) part of the fuselage. After reducing the drawing to scale, I used the trailing edge kink as a reference.

 

 

Engines are BraZ. They lack the strakes.
