Drifterdon Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Here is my 1/144 Minicraft KC-135R. I used the Fisher Models KC-135 nose correction and Caracal Decals. This is a tribute build of Shell 77, the KC-135R that was lost May 3, 2013 over Kyrgyzstan. My apologies for the poor pics.

Drifterdon Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thanks all. The Fisher nose really does give it that distinctive 135 look. I used the windshield decal from ATP as I felt it had the most accurate outline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
