KC-135A, SN 55-3118
First one
- Scale:
- 1:72
- Status:
- Queued
- Started:
- June 14, 2025
Flightpath J-57 engine cowling set. Engines are J57-P
Or
TF-33 pylon config:
NH-H-H-NH Engines are TF33-PW-102 WITH thrust reversers.
A few considerations:
1. Haven't decided on the engines yet. Considering using permanent magnets and switching between TF33 (JT-3d) and J57-P. It all depends on how compatible the pylons are.
2. Retractable gear, i've seen something done to a B2 i think, link to be inserted here later when i find it. There's different options on how to approach it, hopefully full manufacturing will not be necessary.
3. Lights., nav, strobes, wing, landing, taxi, and maybe inside?
4. Fuselage buckling. Again, there someone that did it for an CH-53E, ill link the YouTube here, not sure if that's the best method.
5. Details inside, doors open, permanent magnets.
6. Oxygen bottle row doubled.
7. Replace some of the original plastic for windows with a thinner one to make it more realistic
8. Rivets and skin fatigue showing frames in certain places
9. That mirror shine. Remember a gloss black layer must be applied before applying the chrome for the mirror. And according to accounts, this plane was spit shined every week by the maintenance crew
10. Almost forgot, cutoff, extended and deflected control surfaces. Maybe, ability to be moved any time.
