Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I will be building the good old Airfix Tristar kit as my entry I know of its inaccuracies, but at this stage I am not sure if I will correct anything 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oggy4624 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I am assuming that you intend to do a -100 Orbital Sciences bird - looking forward to that. I am halfway through a 216 Sqn Eastern Express -500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orion that I plan to do will be 10SQN. I thought I would get this one done first since it has been in the stash for a very long time, and have built 4 Orions so far with No.5 at decal stage and Nos 6 & 7 in early construction stages. 6 hours ago, oggy4624 said: I am assuming that you intend to do a -100 Orbital Sciences bird - looking forward to that. I am halfway through a 216 Sqn Eastern Express -500. Yep, -100. Not sure what model the Airfix kit is supposed to represent but I will build it mostly OOB. I also have the Pegasus booster to mount under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggy4624 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The airfix kit is a -1, the main difference with the 100 is the latter has uprated engines, the -500 hasd the shorter fuselage and longer range. I also have the -1 and -100 to build ((delta and gulf air) but I have seen the orbital science one and may do that instead. The difference between the ex BA and Pan Am -500 in service with the RAF is the BA ones has an extea small aft cargo bay door (the Pan Am ones were operated by 216 on behalf of the MOD Army) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so the '10' in L1011 is not obvious, like you other aircraft designations in the chat thread like Me 110, 210, 410 etc Disregard this topic - please delete at your will. I will just build the 10SQN Orion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always known the Tristar as the thousand - eleven, never as a ten-eleven Now we've got that cleared up; carry on, as you were 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Classic kit of a classic airliner - looking forward to this. The ten eleven link came to mind as soon as I saw the thread - there's definitely a 10 there! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I had wondered if a "Ten Eleven" would be acceptable for this group build, will watch your build with interest. As I've got the 26decals boxing (BA Landor) for the Tristar, it might make an appearance later depending on how quickly I get on with my DC-10.
