Default PacMin DC-10 House Colors

I just inherited this model from a friend who sold his hangar and is clearing it out. He told me he received this from a (now retired) Western Airlines pilot "sometime in the late 70's"

Do any of our resident experts know anything about these models? Appears to be somewhere around 1/144 scale.

Thanks.

A great find, in very nice condition too. Judging by the livery, it could even date from as far back as the late 60s.

Nice Pacmin,,,,That model was produced in the 70's..
If its about 14 inches long it is 1/164
any longer its 1/100 Douglas Pacmin models were common in 1/164

Yeas, I was very happy to hear him say: "You still want that DC-10? Get here by tonight and it's yours"
