Details:

Bring one of the most important Cold War aerial refuelling aircraft to your collection with the Italeri KC-135 R/FR Stratotanker (91281). This iconic Boeing-designed tanker formed the backbone of United States Air Force global air operations for decades, providing in-flight refuelling to fighters, bombers, and support aircraft. Developed from the Boeing 367-80 prototype that also led to the 707 airliner, the KC-135 has remained in continuous service since the late 1950s and continues to support modern military operations worldwide.

The KC-135R/FR variant represents an upgraded version of the original Stratotanker, featuring improved engines, updated avionics, and enhanced fuel efficiency. Its aerial refuelling boom system allows it to transfer fuel to a wide range of receiver aircraft, extending mission range and endurance across global theatres of operation. With over 50 years of operational history, the KC-135 remains one of the most successful and enduring military aircraft ever built.

This highly detailed plastic model kit accurately captures the distinctive long fuselage, swept wings, and rear-mounted refuelling boom of the Stratotanker. Designed for experienced modellers, it offers a rewarding build with finely moulded surface detail and authentic U.S. Air Force marking options.
