Fantastic rebuilding Norman, well done. I am very familiar to the effort needed to rebuild this model. I started a 100 scale kit from NITTO many years ago to convert the DC-8-62 kit into a DC-8-63 to be CP Air (one of my favourite colour schemes). I had left over parts due to the conversion and would have happily sent the parts needed to you. Let me know in the future if you are doing anything similar and I will see if I have parts available for you.

This model is not plastic, it is solid cast out of something, quite heavy and when it breaks it has the grainy look of fine cast iron, but it is a late 1950's era resin of some sort. Air Canada must have ordered a pile of them. Most models like this were carved from mahogany back then, but they were very expensive.

I had to replace a missing engine on this solid desk model and repair the badly damaged paint job for the Airline Captain who flew CF-TJA throughout his career with Air Canada. It was a real mess.
