HI Guy's Picked this beauty up this morning, another classic from Aeroclassics
200 scale, Northwest DC-8-32 N801US, was hopping they would release some Northwest Dc-8's, especially after all the superb DELTA DC-8's we had from
them, "More Please".

I'm not sure... To me this model has multiple issues: Nose-section and engines look strange, cockpit-windows are not correct and the passenger-windows seem a little high.

Not the best mould around but I will buy a early SWISSAIR.

I agree with 727pilot, the cabin windows are high and the engines are too long, they almost look like DC-8-62 engines.

Nice acquisition Stevec. This is hands down the best DC-8 mold available. The camera perspective exaggerates the size of the engines. My only gripe is that the got the radome wrong. The air scoops shouldn't be painted black. Not a deal breaker but it does change the way the DC-8 looks.

I hope that they also release the other Northwest livery in the near future, as it is my favorite between the two. As you said "more please"
