Can anyone tell me where to find a reasonably priced model of a DC9 (MD87)? I need something with a wingspan of 4 to 8 feet. I prefer a wind tunnel model, but I can use a reasonably accurate display model.

Try looking around travel agents, sometimes these types of models are on display in the front office.

berkshire,

Thank you for the suggestion. I will try some travel agents.

 
IRstuff: the purpose of the model is to do preliminary aerodynamic modeling. At this point in the project I do not have a budget big enough to fabricate an elaborate aerodynamic model. If preliminary wind tunnel work is encouraging, then we will have budget for more exacting models.

 
Much less enough structural integrity to survive long in wind tunnel tests.
