Stumble across this competitor to the Lockheed Jetstar. Very sharp looking. Many more images on the 'net. And it is for sale.

A cracking looking aeroplane, the 220! I think they only built one, didn't they?
Yonks ago Sasquatch did a 1/144 resin kit of it I recall but I've never seen one built.

Yes, only one was built. I'll like to build one but it take some thought as to what the best donor pieces are. Some line diagrams would be a great starting point.

Belay that order. Found one: Aviastar.org (http://www.aviastar.org/air/usa/mcdonnell_119-220.php)

Would look good in Air Force One scheme.
-
Plenty cool looking design, but a FOD magnet to be sure with four engines slung so low.
-
Engines by Vitamix.
No worries.
For the non-Americans, Vitamix is a high quality food blender for the kitchen.....
-
Swap them around, mount the engines above the wing like Hondajet does.

In order to produce something close to this, I would start with Airfix Dominie 1/72 ...

Wings and tail plane from a 707 at 1/144
How about reenginig with J85?

The quartet of podded jet engines from the Italeri AC-119 kits you got from me a while back should be useful for making this project happen Carl. ;)

The 220's engine pods are rectangular for some reason. Looks neat but it'd need some work to make them from normal round ones.
-
They look like the engine pods from a Neptune or C-123 --

Jeff: I have already set those aside as well as a Dominie for this build. Looking for 1/144 707 or DC-8 wings.

They reminded me a bit of B-66 engines.

From what I've read, the engine pods were squared off to help prevent foreign object ingestion. The plane was at the El Paso International Airport and is clearly visible outside a hangar on Google or Bing satellite map photos. Maybe the jet's still there.
