Mach 2 Douglas DC-8 kits

Post by binbrook32 » Fri Apr 02, 2021 3:14 pm

I was wondering if anybody on here has been brave enough to take on building one of these new 1/72 scale DC-8 kits, maybe somebody has actually finished one even?
I bought both the military versions last month, thought I might try building the French AF. DC-8 Sarigue version but was dismayed to find there were no decals for cheatlines and half the fin flash, apparently they expect you to paint them yourself, so I presume this is the same for the civil airliner kits. So I've decided to build the USN. EC-24A instead (no cheatlines required!).
I must admit that, so far, I have been pleasantly surprised as it hasn't been quite as bad as I expected! Having built two Mach 2 kits before (RB-57F Canberra and B-45C Tornado), I knew what to expect.
I've done all the sub-assemblies, there have been some issues of course, but have yet to tackle the main fuselage.
Anybody else got any experience building these?

Obviously not, currently 300+ views and no comments.
