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!

The NAMC YS-11 is a type easy to ignore by Western collectors but that shoul;dn't be the case as it served widely and for some major and colourful non-Japanese airlies. Although there are 3 available moulds and there have been over 25 releases there is still plenty of potential for this rather forgotten type, especially for US airlines.
