Aeroclassics, Continental Lite DC-9-30: N18513

Aeroclassics made good use of their stellar DC-9 mould in 2022. They released a total of 17 DC-9s and the first was a pair of Continental DC-9s (released February, 7th 2022), one being this model, N18513 and a sister ship with regular Continental titles, N17531. I was able to add both to the collection thanks to the great service over at JetCollector.com. The model itself is just fine. The mould is the standout feature, and the usual paint and printing issues persist. See more..

Airframe specifications provided by Planespotters.net.

DC-9-30 airframe number 926 was originally commissioned by Texas International Airlines. It was delivered to the company in 1979 and quickly was merged into the Continental fleet when the two airlines became one. The airplane would serve with three other airlines, Air Aruba, PLM International and Aero California before earning it's retirement 21 years later in 2000.

The model is in pretty good shape, but I do take issue with an unsightly bend on the port side wing. There is also so sloppy painting on the port side engine intake. Other than that, things really aren't bad at all. This is a nice tribute to an age far gone in U.S. aviation.
