IF we could convince SOVEREIGN to do a DC-9-10 mould...

jetstar · 08-08-2005, 03:52 PM

....which livery would you choose for it's debut?

SDF · 08-08-2005, 04:01 PM

Delta's first operational DC 9 (and therefore the first DC 9 in airliner service) which carried the name on the nose "Delta Prince". The naming of aircraft was a very unusial practice for Delta, and used for very short periods of protional impact only. Another case was the first 747-132 was named "Dixie Bell" with bold script type writing on nose. The ex-Pan Am DC 8-33 carried their clipper names when they were still in Pan Am markings only. They flew in these marking for quite some time. Many were used on Pacific routes by Pan Am and carried Oriental names, such as "Clupper Cathay". The nicknames for these difficult aircraft was "Chinese Eights" among many pilots, mechanics, and operations personel.

I don't believe Sovereign has ever designed a mold of their own, they only use/acquire/rent/lease others.

They'd need the correct -10 wing too...among other things.

Looking at their often screwed up releases, I don't hope for Sovereign to release anything.

But if there's somebody who'd do a good looking 9-10 mould, then my top choice would be Germanair DC-9-15, D-AMOR "Lovebird".

richie154 · 08-08-2005, 07:35 PM

An old Air California black nose DC-9-10 would rock, as would an AeroCalifornia -10. Northwest would be cool too.

sammyk · 08-08-2005, 08:01 PM

I thought Sovereign models needed a LHR connection?

wildcatfootball · 08-08-2005, 10:25 PM

NW 9-10's were in Bowling shoe right?

Most things about A.net seem effed up these days!!

This would be my choice!

A beauty and a historical must have, as the first airline to fly after the U.S. Airline Deregulation Act!

David Hingtgen · 08-09-2005, 02:55 AM

I would ask of course, for TWA twin-stripes.

Planecrazy · 08-09-2005, 08:33 PM

I don't know if this might help for those in need of a DC-9-10 fix, but a seller on eBay has a bunch of Aeroclassics Series 10s on sale at extremely reasonable rates. When I looked, he presently has listed the following airlines:

Air Florida
British Midland
Air Canada
Finnair
KLM
Bonanza
Republic
TWA
Southern
Northwest
Texas International
Continental
Northest
Midwest
Braniff

He sells as Variety-Supply-Online on Ebay and the url to his list is:
http://stores.ebay.com/Variety-Suppl...dZ2QQpZ3QQtZkm

I have bought 8 from him recently and gotten excellent service. Hope this helps the Series 10 munchies

Original Midway is long overdue. I'd be all over that.
TWA in this case, is my second choice (and that is rare). Republic would be a great choice as well.

But Midway would be a great choice.

The DC-9-10 never carried the twin stripes scheme.

Isn't this the 'twin stripes scheme'?

The DC-9-10 is in the works...Not by Sovereign...Will update when I can.

A new mould that will live up to the quality standards of the former SMA line, I hope! Good news if that's the case...

David Hingtgen · 08-16-2005, 02:50 AM

I would specificially request the later DC-9-10's with the solid titles. TWA had two distinct batches of DC-9-10's:

1. Their original ones, ordered from the factory. They got rid of all of them before any made it to solid titles AFAIK.

2. The ones inherited from Ozark. Their first and only TWA scheme was solid titles.

So you can tell if it's one of TWA's original DC-9-10's or if it was inherited from Ozark, by whether it has hollow or solid titles, since there was no overlap of those planes/schemes. Unless someone finds a photo of a DC-9-10 from the original batch (N1050T through 1070T) with solid titles.

I agree on this one but someone could do the -30 of the same scheme now. Wish Gemini Select could do that for the DC-9-30. As for the subject at hand I would want West Coast!

But I saw this in a thread before started by the same person!

What is this the Twilight Zone.

And if you got those Aero Classics ones many of you would not be asking the question of what airline operated this plane as I see two people have asked and have been done. Remember that was the second mold type so. As I am still satisfied with mine, thank you.

Airlines123 · 08-17-2005, 07:50 PM

I would like to see the Braniff Int'l DC-9-14 done. They only flew one of these.

Aeroclassics made a model of this plane. They regularly appear on eBay for @10 to $20.

I saw that but the Aero Classics DC-9-10 mould was so bad that I would never buy an Aero Classics DC-9. Also no DC-9 in 1:400 scale should have a screw.
