Any United Airlines Saul Bass scheme DC-8 decals out there in 72nd scale?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

      I'm looking to build the jet in the pic below. It was later bought by the US Navy and converted into the only EC-24, which I plan on building using the Mach 2 kit. Since I have two of those kits, I thought it might be neat to do a before and after build. Unfortunately, I haven't come across any decals for this scheme. Being new to airliner building, perhaps I'm missing something? Thanks in advance, Fred K.

Fred,

No. Neither Draw Decal nor 26 Decals which can print their decals to multiple scales offers that scheme on that airframe in 1/72 scale.  Have you tried purchasing a cheap copy of Microscale #44-5 Boeing 747 No.2 which has the titles and tail "U"?  They may be close to 1/72 for a DC-8-55F. I don't have the sheet myself, else I would measure and provide dimensions for you.

HTH,

Dutch
