I could be wrong but I dont think that type of 707 has been modelled to date by HJG, looks like a re-engined 707 with the jt8d's.

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

I thinks it's the P&W JT8D-217 (or -219) modification/re-engine.

We do currently represent that particular engine modification among our B707-320B ADV and -320C 3D models.

It's the "HK3" model version in particular .... already applied to the following texture assigments ....

Actually those engines are still PW JT3D-3B but with hush kit stage III, visually modified on the outside with a slimmer/smoother cowl and intake, very similar to the JT3D-7 that adorned the DC-8-63s, but with modified thrust reverser systems. Eng 2-3-&4 still have the turbo compressor inlets which are integral for pressurization of the aircraft cabin.

The re-engined B707 with JT8D-217/-219 engines don't have the turbo compressors atop of engine 2-3&4, pressurization comes from air bled off the compressor from within the engine, which is routed through air conditioning packs.

Have a look/listen to the engine differences.

B707-RE with JT8D-219 engines.

"THANKS" Benoit

It looks like I "screwed the pooch" on that analysis then

At a quick glance .... I really did think they were the P&W JT8D re-engine version

Mark, not at all...
I thought the same as you did until I was able to see and hear the sound differences, as soon as I heard the LOWA Ltd B707 startup it's engines, which is also fitted with an APU, I knew I was on to further research this, as it didn't sound like JT8D-200 at all... There is probably more info about the JT3D retrofit, but that's all I was able to find so far as only few 707s have had this conversion done that I'm aware of.
