The Super 70 was a successful programme to re-engine the DC-8-60s and give them a new lease of life in the era of the big turbofan. 110 aircraft were updated and they generally saw long careers with secondary operators after Delta, Flying Tigers and United sold their aircraft on. There’s plenty of scope for more DC-8-71/73s in 400 scale and there hasn’t been a release since 2012!
There aren’t that many Gemini Jets moulds I’m keen to see come back for more but the Super 70 is definitely one. Even better would be for Aeroclassics to put the new engines on their existing and excellent DC-8-63 mould. Production of Super 70s has been low to date, with only 14 models made by Gemini.
