Alex1978 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 nice job there alex, are they kit decals, seem to recall memories of the box art from way back in time. Yes,the TWA decals are from the kit.All the rest is from the "Nazca Decals" detail set. The kit also provides decals for the Cathay Pacific version.

Gimme Shelter Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 looks great - you can't beat an old lady like a Tri-Star - I see you added the Frisbee under the centre engine which adds good detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Yes,while modifying the Revell L-1011 kit I thought why not build the Airfix kit simultaneously and modify and redo this kit as well. Apart from the added Frisbee I also corrected the number of the flap fairings and the size of them as the Airfix kits fairings are totally wrong.Then I correctetd the main landing gear as the wheels are too wide apart and the landing geardoors were also brought to shape. All in all a lot of work but in the end it improves the look of the kit a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
