Introduction
TRANSPORT WINGS kits are model kits of large aircraft. They are suitable for the
experienced modeller, who can now own 1:72 models of many of the world's
largest airliners and their military transport variants. Because of their size, they are
moulded in very heavy (2 mm) plastic, and are supplied with all parts pre-cut.
Additional cutting and sanding is required, and the parts are assembled with
polystyrene cement, as with any other plastic kit. Resin or metal parts should be
attached with super glue (cyanoacrylate) or 5-minute epoxy as the builder prefers.
History
The DC-10 is a medium to long range airliner. It was a successor to the DC-8 for
long-range operations, and competed with the Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, which has
a similar configuration. The DC-10 became McDonnell Douglas's first commercial
airliner after the merger between McDonnell Aircraft Corporation and Douglas
Aircraft Company in 1967.
Production of the DC-10 ended in 1989 with 386 delivered to airlines and 60 to the
U.S. Air Force as air-to-air refueling tankers, designated the KC-10 Extender. The
DC-10 was succeeded by the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 which entered service in
1990.
