Our RAF releases are some of our most popular, and this one’s a banger.

Mark at Timeless Aero sourced TriStar KC.1 fuselage skin from 2 remarkable jets featured in this release.: ZD948 and ZD950.

ZD948 was the prototype TriStar 500, the first of Lockheed’s long-range L-1011-500s. It first flew on October 16, 1978, flew briefly with British Airways, and joined the RAF in 1983, where it served for the next 31 years.

ZD950 served alongside 948 as a KC.1 tanker/transport, and the two shared one historic flight. On March 24, 2014, they flew the RAF TriStar’s final operational mission together. As FAGIN 11, ZD948 refueled four Typhoons and a Tornado GR.4 over the North Sea, while ZD950, flying as FAGIN 12, carried the journalists and photographers documenting it.

ZD948 Light Grey, ZD948 Multicolor (light grey/dark grey), ZD948 Hi-Lok (structured tags with titanium Hi-Lok fasteners), ZD948 Window Glass (color printed acrylic), ZD950 Quad Color (Red, White, Blue, Grey), ZD950 Tri color (Red, White, Blue), ZD950 Red/White, and ZD950 Blue/White.

Custom Options:

In addition to being able to choose your tag art between Planform and Sketch, this release features the option of choosing your card art. Ryan Roadkill and Ethan at 8380 Laboratories provided radical art for this release. 8380's card art features 948 and 950 flying together in formation on that final flight in 2014. The Window Glass tags come with matching tag/card art.
