michael301757 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 hi everyone,just finished this airfix 1-11,it was started way back in 2000 however due to a changing work situation i was unable to settle back to a regular modelling routine so it became abandoned,fast forward to 2011 and retirement which was the boost to start some more projects,recently the 1-11 was rediscovered partially painted and covered in a gooey mess of masking tape so i decided to rescue it as i imagine these are difficult to find these days, however here it is 15 years late with some other aircraft from the fleet built in my previous modelling life. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimHead23 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Very smart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Nice save on the 1-11, and a much better livery than the later ones too IMHO. ( I have an A330 looking for a livery currently, so might consider the Aer Lingus ) Cheers, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timo Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 A great project very well executed - all 3 look excellent, in particular the great rescue job on the 1-11. How about a 4th generation with a DC-3 in a post WW2 scheme? Cheers Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Very pleasing indeed, as an ex aircraft spotter at Manchester AP, Aer Lingus were very frequent visitors I can appreciate the livery changes. The trio looks very good indeed. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringbag Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Nice trio on display Michael. I'm in complete agreement with Mike W regarding the livery on the 1-11. It's much nicer than the current scheme. Thanks for posting. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan71 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 They have an A320 painted in the old 1960s colours at the moment, it really stands out from the rest of the fleet (it looks superb I think!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I know an Aer Lingus pilot who probably flew all three of the actual aircraft you depict. But the 1-11 was always his favourite. He was also my Instructor and on my very first flight he demonstrated a low level circuit of Fairyhouse horse racing track 'leaping' the chase fences like Tony McCoy. The hooligan. But I loved it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
