Gonna bump these from other threads since this thread is getting lots of attention on requests . Have been posted by myself and others. Both aircraft are very meaningful to me and bring back great memories. Thank you for your consideration.
Just an update here. a new number based on improvements to algorithm and accuracy adjustments to a spreadsheet databases (as well as learning about a few very short lived start-up airlines in the Philippines in the early '70s). The new and mostly accurate number as of 11-20-2019 is: 990,149. airframes flown.
Please get on it, NG. There are many fleets to build...end quote
As I said no one else will, only you...

I think we have to produce it relatively late because of its special fuselage (it has a unique groove under the head). We need a new fuselage mould.
You could also do a second LTU Tristar 1 with this bump because they acquired some from PSA.
But please a -500 in LTU colours first. And an A330.

And new exhaust fairing as it's completely different to the standard version. This is the earlier RR version.

I for one am very grateful for the L-1011's you have produced. They have especially been populating my 90's section, but appear in the 70's and 80's, too.

Yes definitely! A hot favourite of mine. I flew on one too but unfortunately cannot remember the Reg,but that doesn't matter,I'd just like one anyway. The TAP too definitely would be a hot seller and another favourite of mine. Gulf Tristar would be awesome. I have a model of one,but would gladly replace it with an NG one!
Love the TAP Dash 500’s too. That scheme looked very sharp on all the aircraft types that wore it. Hopefully we should see all these become reality in the near future 👏👏👍

Is post 67 on page 2 not working? I can see them on my monitor.
Can't see them, just remembered seeing a post by NG asking for pics of them. I posted them myself as an early request in the 'Tempting, Tasty Tristar' thread from last year. Plenty other 'current' requests in there too.

Firstly an important correction. The registration should be A4O (as in the letter “O”), NOT A40 as in the number! Checked this in airfleets.
I would choose A4O-TY as this was the original delivery registration of 1976, along with A4O-TW and A4O-TX, which were the first three L-1011-100’s delivered to the airline in that year. So any of the above registrations would represent the first early delivery TriStars.
In 1981 Gulf Air took delivery of A4O-TT, an L-1011-200, so you could model that version as well 😉

This is what we just made in 2019.[IMG class=inlineimg]https://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif[/IMG]
The TriStar in the link (D-AERU) als well as two other ones (D-AERE, D-AERI) were originally ordered by PSA and had therefore until the early 80s the lower deck lounge with the bump.
I for one am very grateful for the L-1011's you have produced. They have especially been populating my 90's section, but appear in the 70's and 80's, too.

Thanks to several friends(especially in US/UK/NZ) for their great contribution to the development of this series of moulds.
Love the TAP Dash 500’s too. That scheme looked very sharp on all the aircraft types that wore it. Hopefully we should see all these become reality in the near future 👏👏👍

Ok, now we now what to do first.
and Thanks for your correction.

LTU -500 in the plan.
We will do A330 and a second -1 when the moulds are ready.
You're fabulous.

Okay, now that's weird. I thought I had cleverly circumvented the Anet bugs by linking directly to the images in their source code. Obviously not as clever as I thought!
In any case, IIRC the Court liveries have some subtle tricks to watch out for. Something to do with the tops of the wings and/or stabilisers being the same colour as the fuse. Or not. I can't remember, but I do remember the old AV(?) releases got it wrong. I seem to recall Adrian spotting the mistake. Does anyone know so that NG can avoid this problem?
Court Line was like Braniff in that they painted up different aircraft in their fleet different colours. I think it was called the 'Halcyon Days' scheme or similar. I recall some blue and green BAC 1-11s as well.
Underwing was apparently the same colour as the belly.
Hopefully that pic is visible! I think the upper surfaces of the wings were unpainted, but I'll wait on someone who actually knows to set me straight.
