A relatively quiet week again….  two new decal releases from DRAW Decal, and the start of adding some kits I obtained in trade to the site.

DRAW released a sheet for the Japan Air Lines Boeing 787-9 in 1/200 and 1/144:

• DW20-787-002B Japan Air Lines Boeing 787-9
• DW44-787-002B Japan Air Lines Boeing 787-9

In addition, DRAW released another P.51D Mustang in the “Air Racers” series, sheet DWxx-P51-074 “Risky Business”, in 1/24, 1/32, 1/48, 1/72 and 1/144 scales.

Next, the collection:  The first two models added are a pair of Welsh Models stretched DC-8’s

• WSL-103 Douglas DC-8-71, United Airlines, CFM56 engines.   (2 available)
• WSL-107 Douglas DC-8-63, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, PW JT3D engines (4 available)

I recently obtained a pair of Aurora Plastics models, dating back to the mid 60’s when I helped a widow clear her husband’s kit collection.  Both kits a re very well preserved, boxes are in excellent condition, though the decals have yellowed with age.  There’s only one of each.  They are:

• A-353-198 Boeing 727-100 United Airlines
• A-387-249 Douglas DC-8-12 United Airlines
