Eastern Express L-1011 Tri-Star


Recommended Posts

I just received my Eastern Express 1/144 L-1011 yesterday. I was a bit surprised as I thought

it would be the original mold but this one has a few updates. It now contains the S shaped

tube for the tail mounted engine to prevent see through and it has a new shape for the RR

engines exhaust nozzles. I haven't opened the plastic as of yet but I did open the decal zip

lock bag to retrieve the instructions. I also cut the decal sheet so it now fits inside the zip

lock bag. I still have 4 airliners to finish up before I start this, it's going to be done as the

Eastern Airlines L-1011 I flew in from Miami to Nassau on my honeymoon in July 1983. Just

a few months after the Eastern Airlines Miami to Nassau lost all 3 engines. jon

Any idea what the amount of nose weight is? I am not interested in taping all the parts together, someone

must have built one OR a DC-10. They are similar in size. Thanks. jon

Does it say on the instructions? Most of the time they do. But I have not built a EE kit.
