1/144 Plastic model kit

The KC-97 evolved from the very successful Boeing B-377 airliner and U.S. Air Force C-97 transport. The KC-97 was adapted to carry fuel for airborne refueling of United States Air Force aircraft starting in the late 1940¡Çs. The KC-97 served well into the 1960¡Çs with Air National Guard units. The new Minicraft KC-97 includes in flight re-fueling probe and boom operator position. The 1/144 scale KC-97 has not been available in over 2 years; this will be a welcome return of a famous cold war era aircraft.

Marking include in this kit are:
USAF KC-97G 52-2728, Missouri ANG, mid 1960¡Çs
USAF KC-97G 53-0272, California ANG, Germany, 1969
