GJ KC-135R 61-0266 1:400
Many people may assume the KC-135 was designed based on the 707, but it actually appeared one year earlier than the 707. Both were developed from the Boeing 367-80 aircraft. The KC-135 has a narrower and shorter fuselage than the Boeing 707.
The KC-135, a tanker that served the U.S. Air Force for over 50 years, was fully retired from the U.S. Air Force in 2009. It was replaced by the KC-46, which is based on the 767. However, its various modified versions remain in service: RC-135: Used for reconnaissance missions, NKC-135: Used for test project flights, OC-135: Used as an observation platform.
The GJ KC-135 model is well-made. Personally, I really like its matte paint finish, which has a premium texture. The paint color and mold are relatively accurate; the only drawback is that the mold fit is not tight enough, with slightly large gaps.
