Are those the right engines for a -51? I didn't know any of the -50 series got the same engine aerodynamic treatment that the DC-8-62 received. DC-8 experts?
get................BOTH! one is a 21 series, the other a 51.
They need to show up on a European retailers website first
I can't justify getting both, I already have two Eastern DC-8s and those new releases just look the same besides the engines.
We still need a Swissair Aeroclassics DC-8, hopefully with GSE as well.
If they'd do two different versions in the same Swissair livery I'd get both.

thought one might be longer too as different series. but maybe not.

pics are wrong above. one should be LONGER than the other, as they are different series.
Yes the pics are wrong but if you check the pics on adamjets you'll see that the only difference between a -21 and -51 visible are different engines. Fuselage length is the same for both series.
but they do look the same in direct comparison, right?
i wonder when we will see the next "real" new mould.
You are right, all the B707s and B 720s look the same but there are many variants and it is very easy to get lost.
The B 720 is 8 feet 4inches shorter than the B 707-120 long body, four frames were removed ahead of the wing and one aft of the wing.
It is not immediately obvious.
The B 707-120 B has the same ventral fin as the B 720 B and identical to the B 720 …
…but the B 707-120 received a big ventral fin … which was changed for a small one when becoming a B 707-120 B …
B 707-120 Bs and B 720s /720 Bs had exactly the same wings, so it is very difficult to differentiate the two types.
A few words about the Western "B 707-139" released last year.
According to the engines, it is a B 707-120, but with this tall fin, it should have a big ventral fin, not a small one.
Also, I am curious to see a picture showing the model from above, unless I am wrong, there is a good chance that its wing is the wing of a B 707-120 B.
These two wings cannot be confused.
If I am right, please AC 200, do not do that again.
A B 707-120 needs a new wing, without the glove, different from the one you have on your excellent B 720, B 720 B and B 707-120B.

I wish AC would sell their GSEs separately...
I want their stair trucks...
