Here’s another recent find, for just under £40. Aeroclassics KLM DC-9-32 PH-DNW, delivered 1969, in 1970s blue-top c/s. Released in 2007. A very elusive model!

I already have the earlier 2004 SMA release (PH-DOA), picked up at the Gatwick fair some years ago for a bargain at £18, but the shade of blue on this is the darker 1980s-1990s style, the AC version has that very distinctive shade of pale blue which KLM used early on.

The AC version is also on the improved mould with tweaks to the nose and tail fin, and has the registration printed on the wing as well.

Absolutely stunning! You cannot beat the KLM blue top livery on those T-tails. Great snag!
