Amt Model Kit
Customer Reviews Synopsis
This kit has some issues because the manufacturer used very thin styrene to produce this large sized model kit. Probably the worst issue is the "dreaded wing-drop" which shows up over time. Consequently, this is a model for experienced modelers (not beginners) and requires structural reinforcing the wings to prevent "wing-drop" from happening. These is an old article on the internet about dealing with the AMT/ERTL c-135 "dreaded Wing-drop" if you are lucky enough to find a copy with photos.
AMT/ERTL produced many variants of the Boeing C-135 in 1/72 scale: C-135, EC-18 Aria, RC-135V, E-8, etc.). Almost all of these are long out-of-production and fetch high prices on Ebay and from other sellers.
The ALL is a fascinating airplane (now on display at the USAF Museum in Wright-Patterson, OH). The new airborne laser lab is the YAL-1, which Anigrand Models makes in 1/144 scale. Check out R.W. Duffer's book Airborne Laser Bullets of Light on Amazon. Cool stuff Man!
