Eastern Tristar Comparison

I've reviewed the NG Tristar multiple times at the site (see here) so I'm not going to review the Eastern Tristar, which nonetheless is an amazing model. I already owned the Dragon Wings version and both are N305EA. The classic, and vastly under-used, Dragon Wings L-1011 is still a great model and despite its age is a better mould than the JC Wings / Gemini version and the poor Aeroclassics / Lockness editions. This Dragon model dates from 2001 and a comparison to the NG version shows the improvement that the scale has seen in 24 years.

The nose gear of your Dragon Tristar seems to be installed backwards 😜
Anyway, the DW model is surprisingly well done for the age. The tail engine have a very good shape. The mould is good, just needing intricate printing/detailing and better gears! Could have a better nose shape too.
