Roden has finally switched from Douglass to Boeing. the 720 interesting place to start. I might have to try this. besides UA, Northwest, WAL, Continental and Braniff had them. Some of my favorites.

There have been complaints elsewhere that the engines are too large. Welsh Models does a 720, and Densil might be persuaded to sell the engines separately. Alternatively they can be robbed off the old Revell 707-120 kit. In time perhaps other aftermarket alternatives may be available, possibly from Authentic Airliners (but no official announcement has been made so this cannot be considered to be definite).
