Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker model airplane In August, 1954, the USAF announced that it intended to procure a number of tanker/transport aircraft developed from the prototype Boeing Model 387-80, which had first flown a few weeks earlier. These airplanes were allocated the designation KC-135A, and the first of the aircraft made its initial flight on August 31, 1956. Ten months later, on June 28, 1957, the first production airplane was delivered to Castle AFB, California. Since that time a family of variants has been produced in large numbers for service with the USAF, mainly as tanker (Stratotankers) or transports (Stratolifters). This military version of the Model 367-80 is identified as the Boeing Model 717: it differs primarily from the later Model 707 by having a smaller-diameter fuselage, deletion of cabin windows, reduced size and weight, and accommodation for 80 passengers or an equivalent weight of cargo on the main deck. Power for the KC-135 is four 13,500-lb. thrust Pratt & Whitney J57-P-59W turbojets. The KC-135B has four 18,000-lb. thrust Pratt & Whitney TF33-P-5 turbofans, capable of a maximum speed of 600 mph, with a average cruising speed of 530 mph at 35,000 feet. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled. Dimensions: Wingspan, 19" -Length, 16 1/2" -Scale, 1/100 KC-135 - Item #AM085-AR - Air Corps Price $119.95
