First introduced in 1957, this jet-powered tanker revolutionized aerial refueling operations and remains in active service today—a testament to its exceptional design and reliability. Originally developed to support the Strategic Air Command's B-47 Stratojets and B-52 Bombers during the Cold War, the KC-135 extended the range and endurance of long-range bombers, enabling global military operations. The \"R\" variant you hold represents decades of modernization, featuring upgraded engines and avionics that keep this veteran aircraft mission-ready. This 1\/400 scale diecast model captures the distinctive silhouette of the Stratotanker—its swept wings, four turbofan engines, and characteristic boom-and-receptacle refueling system. At approximately 4 inches long with a 3 7\/8 inch wingspan, it's sized for serious collectors who appreciate authentic detail and historical significance. Perfect for aviation enthusiasts, military history buffs, and those who served alongside this legendary tanker, this adult collectible (ages 14+) includes a display stand and landing gear. A fitting tribute to an aircraft that has supported American air operations for nearly seven decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warbird Bunker Trading Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52036354113816,"sku":null,"price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/2737\/4260\/files\/GMUSA158_GEMINIMACS_USAF_KC-135R_1_400_ILLINOIS_ANG_63-7981.webp?v=1778157665","url":"https:\/\/warbirdbunker.com\/products\/gmusa158-usaf-kc-135r-1-400-scale-diecast-airplane-model","provider":"Warbird Bunker Trading Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
