Manufactured by GeminiMacs as a limited edition diecast metal model, the Boeing KC-135R has been meticulously recreated from Boeing's blueprints and features realistic landing gear and detailed graphics. Originally designated as a replacement for the KC-97 Tanker, the first KC-135 was designed from the Boeing type 367-80. The initial Boeing 367-80 - also known as the Dash 80 - would not only lay the groundwork for the KC-135, but also for the Boeing 707 as well. The KC-135 has seen many iterations over the years, with the first launch order coming from the USAF in 1954. The first KC-135A took to the skies in August 1956 with first deliveries to the USAF beginning in June 1957. Landing gear fixed extended, display stand sold separately.
