This low poly model consists of fewer than 10K polys, ensuring crisp graphics even with minimal details. The design is near-to-scale, offering accurate representations of real-world dimensions. Utilizing a single sheet of material makes the modeling process efficient and effective. The included landing gear allows for versatility in animations - it can be hidden from view or brought out during in-flight sequences. Additionally, animating the boom will add a level of realism to flight scenes. The paint scheme materials are also included for easy customization. With 11 different schemes available for various operators and the USAF, you'll have plenty of options for customizing your aircraft. Each one has been carefully designed to match real-world specifications. The Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker is a pivotal military air refueling jet that revolutionized aerial replenishment. Built from the same prototype as the iconic Boeing 707-130, this pioneering craft introduced the world to the concept of jet-powered refueling in flight. After its initial deployment with the United States Air Force in 1957, it went on to serve for nearly six decades without a break, establishing itself as one of the most enduring military aircraft in history. With over five and half decades of non-stop service, this airframe stands tall alongside only a handful of others still operational today. While the KC-135E has remained a mainstay within the USAF's arsenal, other air refueling craft like the KC-10 and, soon, the upcoming KC-46 Pegasus will work to augment and eventually replace it.
