Are there any 767 1/144 scale kits out there?
Revell/Monogram has a 1/144 767 kit that currently is not in production. Nice kit. Rumour has it that it will be reissued by Revell/Germany sometime soon.
May sound crazy, but…
…how about a 1/48 747? Yes, you heard me right, a 1/48 scale 747. (burn him, he’s a heretic! 
bubbamoosecat: I’ve heard on the airlinermodelling list on Yahoo Groups that Revell AG will rerelease the 1/144 767 sometime in 2004 due to heavy demand.
Thanks for the Revell AG 767 news. It would be nice to convert to the KC767 tanker. Aussie Air Force is considering purchasing it along with the US. I kit based a 737-300 to make the new Aussie “Wedge Tail” early warning as seen on boeing.com.
Cheers, thanks again.
This is probably old information, but the new DC-8 from Minicraft is a DC-8-60. Just released along with the 727-200.
It should be the Lockheed Constallation, Super Constellation and the Starliner.
And in 1:72 scale forgot to mention that
Don’t you like the Heller kits, Sinjin?
Here comes a little panic thought I had looking through the latest Hasegawa Catalogue, noticing the 1:200 airliner section has become very limited, compared with earlier years. No new molds as well…
LHS, our famous Dutch aircraft model shop also seem to get fewer and fewer Hasegawa 1:200 kits, and loads of them come as special offers (they seem to want to get rid of 747-400’s and MD-11’s).
Am I just paranoid or will Hasegawa close their 1:200-line???

Excuse me, forgot to actually reply to the topic: I agree with 7474 and would love to see the A330 and the A340 (-300 and -600 please) in 1:200-scale.
And while Hasegawa spools up their production-line engines[;)]: how about a 1:200 757-300?
Regional Jets and a (new) 717 would be nice as well, won’t mind if it’s in 1:200 or 1:144.
Thank you,
Gertjan
Hi all…
How bout a 1/144 L-1011 TriStar family, all based on the Otaki Kit??
Seen this kit only once, and it’s bang-on in most respects… Just need to
put the shorter, more recent engine nacelles in there… Minicraft or Trumpeter are you listening???

I think the DC - 8 is hands down the most beautiful, graceful design ever produced. Then again, that can be said for a lot of other aircraft. (The 767 is a close second). Just look at the dash eight from any angle and you can see that it was meant to do one thing only -FLY There is just something about those cheek cowl inlets that gives it a character all of its’ own. How about the whole series, from the original design thru the ‘stretch’. Would like to hear from pilots who have flown her to know what she’s really like in the air.
