Douglas Factory Polished Aluminum Model

Length: 30.5" (77.5cm), Wingspan 23.5" (60cm)

I Acquired this as an Unfinished Douglas Factory Model Blank on November 26, 2002 in a trade with another collector. The blank was Beautifully Polished & I had considered keeping it that way - as an art-deco type piece. However, I'm not an avid art-deco collector so I decided to put one of the DC-8 Original Customer Liveries on it and ultimately chose Universal. I've always liked the black and white livery of Universal and it seems to go well with the polished aluminum. I then sent it to my friend Don Stevens at Airborne Replicas for refinishing in the Philippines. I received it back on December 2, 2003 and Once Again They Did a Terrific Job On It!
