I found Jet-X's 1:400 model of Orbital Sciences Corporation's Lockheed L-1011 TriStar "Stargazer" with Pegasus rocket on The Flying Mule.
"Stargazer" is an L-1011 commercial transport aircraft modified to serve as the launch platform for Orbital's air-launched Pegasus rocket as well as a platform for airborne research projects. The L-1011 has been used to successfully launch 32 Pegasus rockets as well as the captive carry flights of the X-34 reusable launch vehicle demonstrator. The aircraft has also been used to conduct various airborne research projects including the NASA Adaptive Performance Optimization (APO) project.

This is the OSC logo version. The model exists in another livery with the Orbital logo. Thanks for pointing this one out.

This was originally released by Jet-X in 2009. There are two "Orbital" versions and two "OSC" versions, although I don't know what the differences between the versions are. I have one of the "Orbital" versions, and it's an excellent model.

The Jet-X 1/400 Stargazer was offered in two versions: one with the Pegasus and one without. If you see "w/o missile" on the packaging then expect that the L-1011 doesn't have the Pegasus.
