Dino, a very nice model indeed, looks to have been a good buy. I have a metal 1/50 scale Lockheed Starliner in TWA livery which I am told was made by a company called Riffe back in the late 50s and has an original stylised metal TWA Jetstream stand, like your DC8 it is very heavy and I guess pretty rare. Out of a collection of around 60 resin and fibregalss models the Starliner is the only metal one I have. The fact that yours is an original Douglas factory model adds to its value and desirability...enjoy it
