This decal sheet provides a comprehensive selection of general-purpose markings to allow you to build and improve your 1/144 scale Minicraft C-135 series kits.

The markings on the sheet include:
Windshield markings to correct the inaccurate windshield profile of the Minicraft C-135 kits (both in black and silver)
National insignia, both in earlier full-color and current low-visibility versions
Maintenance stencilling and door outlines in both early and current style
Refueling door markings for IFR-capable C-135 variants
Strategic Air Command (SAC) "sashes", WEATHER/MATS/MAC/AFMC tail bands
Various unit and command badges commonly seen on USAF C-135 series aircraft since the 1960s
A small set of number digits for earlier C-135 variant tail numbers
We recommend the Minicraft 1/144 scale kits for various C-135 series aircraft. This set was professionally screen printed by Cartograf in Italy. [KC-135E][Boeing RC-135V/W] More |

| | Boeing KC-135 STRATOTANKER Walk Around (Soft cover) Many air forces can conduct missions such as air superiority and ground attack, but only the U.S. Air Force has truly global reach. For more than five decades, the essential enabler of this global reach has been the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker. Unarmed and unglamorous, the Boeing KC-135 has been one of the most successful and enduring aircraft in U.S. Air Force history. Primarily based on the author's extensive access to operational Boeing KC-135 aircraft on the ground and in flight, this book contains the most detailed photographic documentation of the Boeing KC-135 inside and out that has ever been published, as well as color profiles of the Boeing KC-135R in the markings of every major USAF command that has operated that variant. Illustrated with 240 photographs, detailed line drawings and color profiles; 88 pages. More |
