Hi folks,
Long shot I know, but I am looking for a ship-set of four 1:144 Pratt & Whitney JT3D-3B donks for a DC-8.....as seen below:

Some of the Minicraft DC-8 releases came with these.
So if anyone has a spare set, I would love to take them off your hands :D .
Thanks

Ray, I have the Eastern boxing, do you have another set of enginesDC-8 engines to trade?

Or perhaps I could swap the whole kit for something from your stash?

G'day Ray,
I have a ship set of early Sasquatch resin JT3D-3B engines for a 1:144 DC-8.
I also have an assembled ship set of Braz resin 1:144 short-body RB211s for a 747, (if I recall, I think you were looking for a set of these for a 747-300).

Happy to send you up both these sets of engines for your DC-8 donks, if you wanted to do a swap.

If this is what you seek, I have a spare set as I'm planning to convert this kit back to one of the shorter models with aftermarket engines. Remind me of your postal address and they shall be yours.

Yes there is, kind sir. You can keep this wonderful site running. Some spare engines is a small price to pay for such a useful and encouraging location in which to talk to real people about useful aeroplanes. Am I asking too much?
