Description
Thirteen-foot Wingspan
Douglas DC-8-51 1/10 Scale Cutaway Display Model by Pacific
Miniatures (PacMin), 1959. Magnificent large-scale cutaway
display model of the McDonnell Douglas DC-8-51 jetliner,
hand-crafted in 1959 by Pacific Miniatures (PacMin), the premier
aerospace model-making firm of the jet age. Measuring twelve feet
long with a thirteen foot wingspan, the model is constructed of a
fiberglass fuselage and wings, wood and plexiglass interior
sections. Impressive cutaways reveal the forward cockpit, passenger
cabin and galley areas with real wood bulkheads, wool carpeting,
and molded plastic seating. Originally produced for Douglas
Aircraft Company's marketing and sales division to promote the new
DC-8 Series 50 jetliners to airlines, this model represents the
epitome of Cold War-era craftsmanship in commercial-airliner
display art. According to the factory specifications displayed with
the model, only three examples of this type are known to exist
worldwide. The last time this model was publicly exhibited it was
on loan to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. Very fine
presentation condition with minor expected age wear to finish and
interior fittings.
