New Old DC-10

The airplane is a DC-10 jumbo jet with United’s original paint job from about 1960. It was part of a donation of a collection of old kits that a couple gave to the local IPMS chapter, with the instructions that they should be given to anyone who would enjoy building them. They belonged to a long deceased family member. I found this kit still sealed in the original cellophane, and it was made in about 1972! Amazingly, the decals were still good and useable, so I built it. I searched the usual sources and found nobody makes a DC-10 model any more. The kit was made in USA by a Aurora.
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
