Looks real good. Would have liked them to model JA8007 Yoshino instead of JA8001 Fuji, but I'll go for it anyway.

Coincidentally, JA8007 Yoshino was the DC-8 that took Ian Fleming on his research trip to Japan for writing You Only Live Twice -- in fact, it even gets a mention in passing in the book! (Next to collecting die-cast aircraft, I am also a James Bond fanatic.)
