Patriot Models KC-33 Tanker Unboxing

[YesterAirlines]

Thanks to Bedfordshire Diecast I was able to acquire the Patriot Models KC-33, which arrived a few days ago, just after the HX Models 747, whose mould it is based on. This is definitely a premium product, both in terms of cost and packaging, but it is also a super nice model. Patriot are definitely making some interesting niche aircraft and are a brand worth looking out for:

These are the kind of models I would pay a higher price for. High quality mould and packaging and a unique aircraft. If only other brands would do something with their new products...

The stripes on the antenna are quite impressive, looking forward to seeing these hit Western retailers.

Could this mould be used for an Iranian 747 tanker as well, pretty sure the only modification needed would be adding a refueling hump on the nose?

I got this from Bedfordshire Diecast. Since the production run was only 150 units and he had about 10, West Coast Diecast had probably about the same and the rest seem to have been sold in China I don't think anymore of this model will be available.

Yeah I guess so

Truly an amazing model! Things will get even more exotic when HX get their 747 SCA ready.
HX and Patriot really put NG to shame when it comes to B747-100! Who would have thought that huh?!
