Product Description
An impressive 1/72 scale model with a finished length of nearly 60cm.
This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the KC-135 Stratotanker, an aerial refueling tanker operated by the U.S. military.
[About the actual device]
The KC-135 is an aerial refueling tanker of the United States Air Force that entered service in 1957 and, after numerous modifications, is still in active service today.
Developed by Boeing, the total number of aircraft produced across all types exceeds 800.
From the late 1970s onward, a modernization plan was implemented, including updates such as engine replacement.
Among them, the KC-135R is a type based on the KC-135A, with the engine replaced by the CFM56 turbofan engine, F108-CF-100, increased fuel capacity, and the addition of an auxiliary power unit (APU).
Deployment began in 1984.
The inclusion of an APU (Automated Power Unit) allows for engine starting and other operations even in locations without ground support facilities, significantly expanding its operational capabilities.
[About the model]
This is a plastic model assembly kit that replicates the KC-135 Stratotanker, an aerial refueling tanker operated by the U.S. military.
・In particular, the KC-135R/FR type has been modeled.
This is a large model, with a finished length of 580mm at 1/72 scale.
From the smooth fuselage shape to the swept-back wings and four engine nacelles, you can enjoy the impressive finish that is unique to large aircraft.
- The cargo doors on the sides of the fuselage can be assembled in either the open or closed position.
The cockpit, including the pilot's seat and co-pilot's seat, is also realistically reproduced.
The details inside the cargo compartment, including the floorboards, are also accurately represented.
・Of course, a key feature is the reproduction of the boom mounted on the rear of the aircraft, which is unique to aerial refueling tankers.
The markings include those for both US Air Force and Italian Air Force aircraft.
