The Aero Classics 1:200 National Airlines DC-8 model with registration N779C is a die-cast collectible, known by the product code AC219902. The actual aircraft was a DC-8-51 and was named “Marilyn” in the National Airlines fleet, rather than “Sun King”. The “Sun King” name was likely associated with the airline’s overall livery and branding.
The model features the iconic “Sunburst” livery, is highly detailed with realistic panel lines, permanently extended metal landing gear, and rolling rubber tires.
