DC-9 Conversion

[PanAm64]

Hey All,
I looked on the web but could not find anything. May have missed it. But my question is what steps are needed to convert the MPC or Airfix DC-9-31 to a series 10? I am wanting to do one.

Thanks

Ed

Ed,

Found the data from Jodie’s article in the AMD files.
The pic is an edit from something I had in my files. (but can’t remember who from originally!)

P.S.

I’ve noticed the conflicting measurement of the wingspan difference. My own research says that the 1/1 difference is 1.19m.

So, 1190mm / 144 / 2 wings = 4.13mm at each tip. (not 6.4mm!)
Therefore the pic is correct!

Cheers!

What are the Lobe Creases missing from the Airfix DC-9’s?

Apologies if I’m misinterpreting your question, but the lobe crease is where the upper and lower sections of the fuselage meet.  Here’s a great discussion about it: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/60687/why-does-the-dc-9-80-md-80-have-this-cusp-in-its-fuselage  IIRC, Airfix didn’t quite get the fuselage cross section right, so their kit is missing that crease.
