Default Re: What IF200 Lockheed Tristars are out there?

Strange question... they are on the IF website.... well .. sort of..... but it doesnt really confirm what is out there....

Tristars

First off the mark was supposedly the Eastern/BEA one, but I have never seen one.. I went 'shopping' yesterday and dont remember seeing it...

So far the pink Courtline is the second one out with the Inflight number 3... that is at Baldock International and if Mrs Agent finds it, she will think I have turned.. oooh it is so very pink..!!

Yellow one (no2) is supposedly out soon...

Number 4 is the PSA.. didnt see that either.....

5 .. TWA
6 .. Delta
7 .. ATA.. these are not out yet..

DC10's..

1 .. BA
3 .. KLM / NW
4 .. Alitalia
6 .. Lufthansa
8 .. Air NZ
10 .. NW

ATA
Laker
Laker Skytrain
Pan Am (withdrawn from sale..)

I cant work out all the numbers .. some Inflight peep might want to update the site...!

Chatting to said dealer bod yesterday... the CourtLine/Alitalia were the last ones they in the shop and the BA was completely sold out . Today they are sold out of pink jobbies, Alitalia and BA's...

As to the models.. they really are very simlar to the Skyline models but with much sharper tampo printing, sharper undercarriage and a few pointy sharp bits - (aerial fins) ...

The Tristar looks nice... the DC10 was never going to win any beauty competitions and the cockpit on both the Pan Am and BA (10's) looks a little 'pointed' and suffers from the 'Inflight we cant get the top of the cockpit level' syndrome..... it is however very much a DC10....

They dont have the weight of the 747 so as to whats inside, I havet yet had one delivered in pieces to have a look.

I am just glad to see that someone out there caters for the retro crowd - and does a good job... well worth getting IMHO, if these two float your boat...

.. in fact quite a good question really...
