Italeri 1/72 Aircraft - KC-135 R/FR Stratotanker Aerial Refuelling Aircraft - 91281

The Italeri 1/72 KC-135R/FR Stratotanker (91281) is a 1/72 scale model kit of the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker — the USAF's primary aerial refuelling aircraft that has been in continuous service since 1957. The KC-135 uses a rigid flying boom to transfer fuel to receiver aircraft, enabling long-range strike missions impossible without refuelling. The R variant features CFM56 turbofan re-engining for dramatically improved performance and fuel efficiency, while the FR is the French Air Force version. Over 400 remain in USAF service today.
