3-D Paper Boeing 727-200 PSA Airlines, 1/48, B727PS
Cardstock Paper Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc
Sold
Rare kit from 1984. Still factory sealed but the seal has splits from age. Very large 1/48 scale 727 with colorful PSA markings. I have this kit built and it is impressive and very well engineered. The cardstock and printing is of a very high quality and the parts are die-cut, which is a real time saver. The printing was expensive at the time and even the natural aluminum finish is represented very nicely. This company made the 727 in Fedex, Delta and PSA colors, a 727-100 variant and perhaps other aircraft as well but is no longer manufacturing kits.
