This is a remarkably detailed low poly model boasting just over 10,000 polygons. Carefully crafted to scale, the model leverages single sheet materials for seamless authenticity. What's more, its landing gear can be discreetly concealed, freeing up animation possibilities in flight mode. The boom itself can also be brought to life through subtle animations. In addition, high-fidelity paint scheme materials are provided as demonstrated here, giving users limitless flexibility to personalize their aircraft with the model's 11 carefully designed configurations for various operators and even the USAF. With its versatile design, this exceptional model seamlessly fits into multiple settings - whether that be an operational mission or a realistic air show performance. Boasting incredible staying power, the Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker remains an iconic military air refueling aircraft to this day. As its impressive prototype shared lineage with the pioneering Boeing 707-130 jetliner clearly showcases, it paved the way for others in its footsteps - all while proudly standing as the very first commercially operated air refueling craft with a jet propulsion engine. Not only has this marvelous piece of machinery successfully held up for an astonishing six decades with steady service at the forefront of operations for the United States Air Force since 1957, but it boasts an even more notable accolade: its status as one of six steadfast military aircraft enduring for longer than five grueling years. Despite recent assistance from newer variants such as the mighty KC-10 and upcoming successors like the majestic KC46 Pegasus on the horizon, this tried-and-tested stalwart remains proudly fronted as a mainline standard tanker across the prestigious ranks of United States Air Force units.
