Over the past 3 months I've somehow managed to add 29 Boeing 727s to the collection, which I guess illustrates I'm spending way too much on models. Hmm. Anyway, most of these have either come from eBay, Northeast Diecast or @Beans__ . A couple have featured on my channels already and several more will do so in the near future.

One of the models I acquired from @Beans__ was JA8318 a 727-46 delivered new to JAL in July 1966, named as 'Tama', and transferred to Toa Domestic in 1972 before sale to Dan Air as G-BDAN in August 1974. The model wears the second livery worn by JAL's 727 with the Japanese only titles. Only two of the airline's fourteen 727s survived beyond 1976 to receive the anglicised titles, with one of them being JA8327 which I already owned.

While looking up info on these models Google alerted me to the fact that I'd actually written about JAL in the 60s way back in 2017 covering both the CV-880s and 727s so for more info check that avhistory blogpost out:
