My stash just grew again 2018.

[Weaver]

Then, there are two sets of this stuff... everything but the fuselage. I thought I had it figured out for a while but now I'm not sure at all.




Someone here probably knows! Either way, the "size" of it is right so I might use one set and turn that 1/144 727 into some weird 4 engined T-tail airliner. 

So, that's my latest stuff... there's still more on the way before I'm all done with kit budget for the month and they should be here next week. 

Those look like 747 wings to me. They might go with the fuselages you've got, despite the plastic being a different colour. Maybe the manufacturer set their kit up to make many different versions, so wings and fuselages don't all get molded together?

[TheChronicOne]

That would be great if they go with 747.  I do know they make wings and fuselages different colors in same kits. The two complete kits I've scrounged together are like that, in fact.

Just doing a quick glance and holding them up next to each other, it would seem the wings and tailplanes both match the roots on the fuselage. This is awesome!! How fun to have a whole 747 kit here (and extra wings and engines and stuff for whif builds) Thanks, H!  I've put all of this stuff up for now but tomorrow or whenever, I'll see exactly how well the parts match up and do some measuring to make certain but this seems like the ticket.

Some of the rest are two 1/200 scale 747 fuselage halves. Just so happens I have everything for a C-5 Galaxy BUT the fuselage and tailplanes so I might slap all that onto it. I'll need tailplanes but some random ones came with this lot. There's also what I think is a 1/144 scale 727 but I'm just not sure:



The middle engine intake isn't molded into the fuselage and there seems to be no exhaust for it, either, but the rest sure looks like a 727. I looked around the net for pictures and just couldn't figure it out. There's a hole in the fin where the intake would be and also the stairs at the aft of the fuselage.

Pretty convinced that's a DC-9, but I'm not the expert (you want Kit for that!). The down-sloped nose is distinctive, and they have a small intake (APU? Air con?) on the leading edge of the fin, which would account for the hole.

Ahhh!!!  2 for 2!!  Thank you again.... this is exactly why I come to you all here with my questions. I went and looked at google images and it seems the perfect fit.

Yeah, as H said already, that's a DC9 for sure. It could be a -30 or a -40 and I'd need to count windows to be certain. I don't recognise the kit though, it's not an Airfix -30 as it has the engine internals which are quite unusual in such a small scale.

Those 747 wings and fuselages may well be from the same kit as Hasegawa quite often supplied sprues in different colours with their 1/100 kits.

And now, this junk lot of airliner stuff. And... one random 1/48 Cessna 150 I think it is... (with no glass or wings).   

Sounds to me like you have the makings of a post-apocalypse dune-buggy there. Put the Cessna body on a light truck chassis with a belt-drive to the prop-shaft...

If those 747's are 1/200 scale, are you sure you don't have one of those Aurora 1/72 scale DC-9's (judging by the size of it in this pic). If it is you've got yourself a rare kit, mate!

IIRC the Aurora 'Gold Dust' DC9 is a short -10, and that one's a longer version.

Did anyone do a 1/100 DC9?

I wish it were!! This would appear to be 1/100 scale as it measures a bit above 14 inches while the 1/72 scale would clock in at just shy of 20 inches. 1/144 scale would have it around 9 inches. Someone might check my math, though...          This stuff looks right:    https://www.scalemates.com/kits/205544-entex-industries-8513-dc9-40

That's good to know! I'm going to take a closer look at that 747 stuff later but last night I held the wings up to the fuselage and the wing roots and wing butting surfaces were the same length, the tabs and slots same size and length, and the tailplanes matched up as well. Of course, I'll want to do some actual measuring to seal the deal but it looks right which is swell because then I'd have a complete 747.

Oh yeah!!!! 40 windows counted on port side. I'm assuming it's the same on the other side and I didn't count the windscreens obviously.

Ah, of course! It's the Nitto kit! They did all of their stuff in that period in 1/100 and I'd forgotten they'd done a -40. 

And it was a -40 because only two airlines ordered them, SAS in Europe and TDA in Japan.
