The Aviation
Workshop's latest release in the Premier Plus range covers just one subject in
1/72 scale - but what a subject!
This
is a Boeing KC 135E adorned with a gigantic tiger's head on the port fuselage
side. This is an interesting and unique way to break up the otherwise uniform
Gunship Grey scheme of this big aeroplane.
Most markings,
including low-viz stars and bars, high viz flags and NJ ANG tail flashes, are
included. However, the instructions recommend that kit supplied wing walkways
are used. This is a sensible and practical move to keep the size of the decal
sheet (and therefore the price) down.
The decals are
beautifully printed and in perfect register. They are produced in the USA by
Microscale
The instructions
maintain the same high standard. They are presented on four sides of A4 paper,
and include four view drawings of this KC 135E.
The recommended
kits are ESCI, AMT and Heller.
If you want the
most eye-catching KC 135E model in the room, these decals will go along way to
help you achieve your objective!
