1/50 Philippine Airlines DC-8F-55, PI-C801, Proposed Delivery Colors

Douglas Factory Polished Aluminum Model

Length: 35.5" (91cm), Wingspan 34" (86cm)

This is an Original Douglas Factory Model which was produced in the early 1960s by the Douglas Aircraft Model Shop / Marketing Aids. I acquired it on September 10, 2001 from an Antique Dealer in New York City. When I received this model it was in Fair to Poor Condition and Badly Needed Restoration. Fortunately My Partner, Bob Sanford, Volunteered to Restore It and did an Outstanding Job - Thank You Bob! Even though it has been Restored it still Retains All of The Original Decals and Paint Scheme.

Excellent
