The L-1011-300 was a stretch of the basic -1 Tristar with the existing wings and engines:



The -400 was a shorter range version with the -500 fuselage and the -1 wings and engines:

I like how you mark out shading area, It will make work for other people so much easier.

Nice additions, and an interesting idea on blank shading too.

The T.VI was one strange-looking beast, a bit like a Short Sterling but what's with the dual nose MG positions? A turret and a cupola seems a bit like overkill and adds unnecessary drag.

Yeap, it looks quite odd, but that's how it was on source drawing (it can be found, among others, on secretprojects.co.uk).

The final never-built L-1011, the -600 'Bistar'

could we get them in basic grey too? I know this is good for recolouring, but it is hard to grasp the actual shape of the aircraft from this rainbow
other then that, looking great!

Nice work TJ.

An interesting fact I discovered this week, only one TriStar is now still flying in the world, the converted aerial observatory.

Yeah it's a shame but it happens to even the best airframes eventually.

Eswube was kind enough to give the L-1011-1 an art pass, and I've been taking that and applying it to the other L-1011s.

Actually, the last Tristar around is the Orbital Sciences launch plane (even though the name Stargazer suggests a flying obervatory).
