wallyinoz Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Not my best work, I was a bit disappointed with this kit as I had heard some pretty good reviews about it and it did not match my expectations, it didnt help that I dropped the damn thing twice! I bought the kit ages ago, it might have been an ebay job I just can't remember. Anyhow when I thought it was time to open this one up again I noticed there were no decals..no matter as I wasnt interested in doing an ANA anyway but it might have been useful for doors / window cockpit glass decals. There are a few aftermarket decal sets available for this kit but I didnt want any of them, Cathay Pacific were the only Tristar operator to Perth back in the day so it had to be Cathay, A simple scheme, I painted the cheat line rest of the markings are home made decals, it is an ok 4 footer (using my crappy eyesight that is!) Tomorrow I will gloss coat it and see it it will fit in the cabinet.. oh yes it is sitting on a borrowed stand, I have to make another one for her 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1978 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Its absolutley beautiful. I love the L-1011 and have many kits in my stash.Also another Nitto 1/100 kit. One is already built up in Eastern Airlines delivery scheme. You have done justice to this elegant classic.Top work and she looks gorgeous in Cathay Pacific C/S ,surely one of my favourite schemes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eng Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Can't beat the gorgeous lines of the Tristar. This looks lovely, a real classic scheme too. BCal's Tristars were the first live aircraft I was ever let loose on during my apprenticeship, great to work on. Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 one of the most beautiful classic wide bodies to have ever flown our skies... I love it - such a shame these beautiful old ladies are gone forever. A big kit showing great end results despite your own concerns. A classic uniform for the old dolphin too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbofan Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Not your best work eh? Nothing obvious in the pics! One of my favourite TriStar liveries. I've plans to build one of these in 1/144. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 if anyone's feeling really really L1011 brave out there, could you possibly do one in the BWIA steelpan livery as I loved that and used to fly n them a lot too over to Antigua when we lived there in the early 2000's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
