1/144 L-1011-385

I flew from Miami to Nassau in the early 80s on a Tristar L1011-385. Does Eastern Express

make that specific model L1011? It was an Eastern Airlines livery.---John

You might want to place this in the Airliner Modeling forum.

As mentioned on another forum you posted this question on, Eastern operated the L1011-1 which is similar in appearance to the L1011-200

 

Eastern Express has released a kit in Eastern colours

Sorry about the wrong forum, it is however a jet, oh well. I never mentioned on any other forum that L-1011-1

was similar to L-1011-200 though. You have me confused although I did ask about -385 on another forum.---John

Sorry, John, a misunderstanding with my explanation. You posted this same question on Britmodeller, yes?

 

Someone there replied that the -385 was not a model number and you were in fact after a -200 kit.

 

I did a little research and found that Eastern Airlines operated the L1011-1 which is externally identical to the L1011-200. The -200 had more fuel storage, increased take-off weight, and uprated engines. I should have explained myself better. 

 

Sorry for the confusion.

 

So what I was trying to say was that the Eastern Express Eastern Airlines boxing will work for you. 😉
