Patriot Model September 2024 release: DC-10

[DTcustoms]

Patriot Model just posted their 2 new releases: DC-10-10 house livery and the -10 tanker. Both will be using the Aeroclassics moulds

Wow nice. Loving these release artworks - very InFlight-esque.
These show aerials - are they going to upgrade the AC Mould?
Been looking forward to the Tankers. Hopefully they'll make the 10 Tanker new scheme - especially spectacular.

No need to upgrade a mould, just drill those tiny holes and stick the aerials in.
Now if only AC had a 10-10 mould..

Awesome releases! Always good to see some DC-10s!
This is also the debut of a tanker DC-10 in 1:400, right? Herpa did it in 1:500. Their mould is a resized counterpart of the old AV400 mould.

Oh, was not expecting that RFS DC-10 Tanker, well that will be headed my way for sure.

The Air Carrier would be an interesting release

Price tag is quite steep on these...

Probably high price for the manufacturer plus shipping and fees, cost adds up for sure

I hope they don’t forget the tank below the belly of the DC-10. And the new scheme would be awesome. I love it!

 

[Mark22]

Hopefully these won't take forever to become available. Quite some interesting options they can do in the future: L-188s, IL-18 (variants), 747SP, 757

I hope they don’t forget the tank below the belly of the DC-10.

If they forget to add it, I think the model will be a massive flop. Quite pointless to have it without the tank

 

[YesterAirlines]

It'll have the tank obviously. My understanding is that Aeroclassics are making the base model and then Patriot will take on the models and add the detailing and features that AC aren't able or willing to add. So to a certain degree they are reliant on Aeroclassics QC but hopefully not too much!

Anyone got any more info on the DC-10 Tanker? Curious to see images before committing to it

Nothing yet. Often it takes a while for the west to hear about what's going on model-wise in China.

No more news about the 747s either? The RA001 variants.

nothing comes out.
2-3 weeks ago i heard from the retailer saying the 747 production is almost finished and they were working on packaging. but nothing ever since.
the DC-10s will be even longer to ship out.
