Don't normally comment on these, but I agree that it's a great picture.
BTW, I don't think TWA was that bad - until they got bought by "Absolutely Awful".

Nice pic
Nice livery........my favorite TWA of the Jet age
Unfornately there appears to be aplha over the red and white silvering those colours and spoiling it :-(

If anybody could give my old bird a new lease of life, I'd be very grateful.

Yes a cracking picture and the best livery the L1011 it wore in TWA colours, my favourite was always the original Air Canada like the early Airfix kit, I gather this is the defunct Vistaliners one?

No Tony, the little fin in front of the tail engine inlet gives it away.....Vistaliners only made one -100 model.
This photoreal paint is for the stupendously beautiful Aerosim model. (N31023 is a Tristar 50)
Thankyou for the kind comments chaps. CHEERS
