JakubJakepilot Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 14 hours ago, Curt said: Your repaint description/flow is correct. The two in SAC camo (white-tops) were eventually repainted in AMC gray. They were supposedly left as "white-tops" for sensitive or diplomatic missions, but that did not last. The first KC-10 was 79-0433, briefly registered as N110KC for flight test before handing over to the USAF, Oct 1981. Hope this helps. Your English fine by the way. Thanks for the info. I updated my pages with all known nose art names, added 100% sure Shamu color airframes. Sometimes I have two nose art, one in SAC and the other in Shamu color, no idea what is correct for 1990-1991 era. Here is it - https://www.dstorm.eu/pages/en/usa/kc-10a.html So, still looking for more info on that .... Sharkmouth bird - do you mean 83-0077 ? I have pic of build double with "Great White" nose art and with sharkmouth. What is the story behind it ? 14 hours ago, Da SWO said: Can you blow the photo of Blackstar up? Serial number is too the right of the emblem. Sorry, this is the best I can do, when I enlarge the pic, it is all blurred and unreadable ... Thanks to all !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Here's a photo of KC-10A 83-0077 "Great White" with a shark mouth in place of the nose art. From the book Giant Cargo Planes. Wish I could find more but I gather this did not last long. Dragon does make this as a 1/400 die cast. Edited August 27, 2021 by Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
