TwoSix Resin Release – BAC 1-11 Nose

Posted on November 7, 2017 by russ@AHS

After a long absence, TwoSix has re-released their resin BAC 1-11 nose as TSR144-05, intended to convert the Airfix BAC 1-11-200 kit to have the “in service” more pointed radome, and to improve the accuracy of the cockpit.  This part was previously released as LGW44-01.

This is a single piece to replace the entire 1-11 nose forward of the front cabin doors. It can be used on the Welsh Models 1-11-500 kits as well.

Why is the Airfix kit inaccurate?  The kit was developed from the 1-11 prototype, which originally flew with the more blunt nose.  The first few 1-11-200’s for British United, and apparently the first Braniff airframe were also fitted with the blunt radomes, but these were replaced before the aircraft went into service.

TSR144-05_BAC_1-11_nose-W

So is the timing of this release a hint that perhaps Airfix will shortly re-release their 1-11 kit?  We shall have to wait and see…..
