Caravelle 10R Engines
Scale : 1/144
Reference : FR14001
Price : 12,00 €

These engines are primarily intended to fit a Caravelle 10B or 12 but they will look good on a 10R or 11R too. The 10R was a "cheap" alternative to the "Super Caravelle", the much refined 10B - which later gave birth to the stretched 12. Basically the 10R was a 6R with 10B's JT8D engines. And since the 6R is visually almost identical to the early I and III versions depicted by the Airfix and PZW kits, fitting those engines on those kits will make a perfectly realistic Caravelle 10R.
Operators of the Caravelle 10R were Iberia, Aviaco, UTA, Sterling, Hispania, Air Afrique, Transeuropa (Spain) and SATA/CTA (Switzerlands) among others.
The 11R was a rare bird, operators included Transeuropa, Aerosucre of Colombia, Gabon Express and the French Air Force (which used the type well into the mid nineties to ferry personnel to the Pacific nuclear testing sites).

We are in the process of upgrading this product. Instead of the old resin fuselage plug, we will supply a plastic Caravelle 10B or 12 fuselage. Modellers will have to graft the 10B or 12 nose onto the Airfix fuselage and use the resin engines provided.
