jonwinn Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonwinn Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
