bobsyouruncle Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I remember building one of these in my teens and couldn't help feeling disappointed that it just didn't seem to look like the 1-11s I used to see at the airport (in those days I just built what was in the box and trusted it all to be right). Yours completely nails the look that I remember of the 1-11 though, with that sharp looking nose and the cockpit glass just looks so right. A real pleasure to look at. Superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Thanks for your generous comments @bobsyouruncle. Airfix based their kit on the 1-11 prototype and actually made a pretty decent job of it. Unfortunately the production aircraft looked significantly different with its pointed radome, relocated wing fences and a few other things. It's a pity Airfix were in such a hurry to issue the kit but it isn't difficult to make the necessary changes especially if you "cheat" by using resin and brass parts like I did!

woody37 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I got distracted part way down in offering my comments but I'm back with it now! Lovely 1-11, I've not seen this scheme before so learned something new. Great detailing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
