Hi guys, I am new to this site and I love it! Just wish I new of it earlier. Can anyone tell me what the Entex 1/100 DC-10 kit is like? Is it worth my while to build or are there any other ones that are better in 1/144? Thanks for looking, your help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Anthony(who is going to dig deeper into this site!) |

Well, I have not built any of those but I know that kit quite well. It is a series 10 (with short fairings, no centre undercarriage, and short engine afterbody) and for that exact type it is accurate. Anyway some details are simplified for such a scale. With some mods it can be made into an accurate 30. I`m not sure about it but Doyusha may have updated the kit with a 30 series central undercarriage leg, however the fuselage fairings remained unchanged. hope this helps, Albrecht the 10thmaster Long live the trijet |

For its day (original release dates back at least 20 years) the kit was very good. Even by today's standards it is a reasonably good replica of a -10. Having seen the kit both in the box and built (by a friend), if I were looking to build a very large DC-10-10 and decals of good quality for the airline of my choice in 1:100 were available, I would not hesitate to build the kit. For an accurate look, I would definitely choose the Entex DC-10 over the Airfix and Revell kits...but not over the Hasegawa kit.

Thanks very much for your help, I do feel much more informed. Think I might look for a 1/144 one in keeping with my other ones....maybe. A large DC-10would look pretty cool though, and with a bit of extra work would look impressive. Thanks Guys Anthony |
