Agree with you there JPTRR




Agree with you there too, Jessie, except for me it was Montreal rather than Winnipeg.

How'd you ever guess that? Yes, the DC-9 has been a favourite of mine ever since I was a wee thing living in Winterpeg watching the daily Air Canada flights. It was the first aircraft I learned to recognise reliably. This has always been for me how a DC-9 is supposed to look

Great review Jessica, but they are not exactly new kits. Has it been re-issued recently?

The DC-9 was designed in the early 1960s as a short range jet airliner to compete with the Caravelle and BAC 1-11. It emerged the winner in the short term, outselling both other designs combined. In turn, it was outsold by Boeing''s 727 and 737. The Airfix DC-9-30 was first issued in 1973. It represents a generic DC-9-30 and is remarkably good despite its age.
