The Douglas DC-8 (also known as the McDonnell Douglas DC-8) is an American four-engine long-range narrow-body jet airliner built from 1958 to 1972 by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Launched after the competing Boeing 707, the DC-8 nevertheless kept Douglas in a strong position in the airliner market, and remained in production until 1972 when it began to be superseded by larger wide-body designs, including the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. The DC-8's design allowed it a slightly larger cargo capacity than the 707 and some re-engined DC-8s are still in use as freighters (Thanks Wikipedia).
Well, After some 2 hours of frustrating fiddling, It is complete. Sorry about not uploading for a few weeks. I was in a situation where I couldn’t figure out what to build, and having to deal with family things. I personally love this plane. For fun, it’s in the SwissAir paint scheme.
ENJOY!!!

Alright @MIWTheGamer
@OC3LOT1142 np!
Good job, I may be off longer than expected, but I will make the B-24 good before I come back, but that'll be a while.
@diegoavion84 @chingyang thanks so much for the parts!
