Detailed Product Information:

This sale is for a Rare & Vintage 1956, Raise Up from Rotterdam, Holland 1/50 Scale, Swissair Douglas DC-8-32. Registration #HB-IDA Solid  Heavy Metal Desktop Display Model Airplane and Original Base Stand. This model airplane is a solid three (3) piece designed jetliner. The two (2) wings disconnect from the model's fuselage. This highly detailed, very large model airplane, measures approximately 36.00" long x 34.00" wingspan x 9.00" tall. The metal stand measures approximately 9.00" long x 6.00" wide x 11.50" tall (varies). The model connects to the upper part of the stand, via two (2) pegs which is connected to the underside of the model airplane. The model and stand together weigh approximately 22 lbs.

I acquired this model from an estate of a former Swissair pilot, who was based in Switzerland and later worked in Swissair's corporate office in Zurich-Kloten.

Important Detailed Information About The Condition Of This Model Airplane and Base Stand:

The model has two (2) small drilled threaded holes in the top of the fuselage. One towards the front section of the model and the other towards the rear tail section. I believe that this model may have been hung from a ceiling at one time. The model airplane has some scratch spots, scuff spots, smudge spots, dirt spots, minor yellowing of the white paint color, rust spots, paint loss on various areas of this model. The original decals show some drying, yellowing and overall loss. The wing tip edges, stabilizer edges, engines, engine mounts and tail section edges all show some very minor wear. The brand new re-casted metal base stand also shows some scratch marks, some dirt marks and some smudge marks. The original Raise-Up wooden shipping crate is unfortunately not included. Overall, this model airplane and base stand in for it's age condition for being 59 years old. I'll certainly take care in boxing up this rare model for safe delivery to the sale winner.

A Short History about the Douglas DC-8 Airplane:

The Douglas DC-8 (also known as the McDonnell Douglas DC-8) is a four-engine long-range narrow-body jet airliner built from 1958 to 1972 by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Launched after the competingBoeing 707, the DC-8 nevertheless kept Douglas in a strong position in the airliner market, and remained in production until 1972 when it began to be superseded by larger wide-body designs, including the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. The DC-8's design allowed it a slightly larger cargo capacity than the 707 and some re-engined DC-8s are still in use as freighters.
