To boot, all the paint scheme materials needed for these exact replicas are provided, showcased right here. Available in 11 authentic colors across a variety of operators, this model is inclusive even offering an additional USAF-themed livery. The Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker serves as a cutting-edge military air refueling aircraft engineered from the same groundbreaking prototype as the Boeing 707-130. Pioneering as the first-ever jet-powered air refueler, it proudly took flight with the United States Air Force back in 1957. Since then, it has remained a cornerstone within their ranks for nearly six decades – an astonishing achievement spanning over half a century in active duty. Alongside five other aircraft, this KC-135E secures its place as one of history's longest-serving war machines to ever be employed. Though now mainly flown by the USAF, additional air tankers such as the mighty KC-10 step up alongside it; a newer generation in development awaits – the sleek, state-of-the-art KC46 Pegasus.
