Herpa U.S. Air Force McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender - 60th Air Mobility Wing, Travis Air Base – 86-0031 1/500 Aircraft Scale Model
On September 26, 2024, the last two KC-10 Extenders, among them the trijet with the serial number 86-0031, left Travis Air Force Base heading out on its final flight to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group in neighboring Arizona, where retired aircraft are mothballed, recycled and/or disposed of. Since 1980, the KC-10 had been a crucial asset for U.S. and allied forces, flying airlift and aerial refueling missions across the globe. Often referred to as the “Gucci-10” because of its comfortable and spacious interior compared to other military aircraft, the KC-10 could carry twice as much fuel as the older KC-135 and at the same time almost as much cargo as the C-17 Globemaster. To commemorate its retirement, Herpa is releasing a small three-model, limited-edition series of the trijet in spring and summer of 2025. The first model sports the insignia of the 60th Air Mobility Wing, the final U.S Air Force unit to operate the Extender.

Its a great model, with an average size but has a lot of detail
Very good quality and excellent attention to detail. Only downside is it being quite small but apart from that incredbile model. Will definetly be purchasing from this website again.
Amazing for my 1/400 airport, I bought the Airport mat here to (great condition) the baggage carriers could be improved though as the detach easily. Overall great product.
The most beautiful Chromo plane ,it shines like the brand new one real
AMS please reply
I have not bought it yet and I am wondering if it looks good with 1/500 planes on the terminal. If it does I will by it definitely and thank you.
Superb looking model having flown on this from JFK to LHR it one I had to get looks great on its stand with gear down
This summer 2025 release of G-XLEE has improvements made to its nose, making it highly realistic and comparable to real photos of the aircraft. No issues with QC from Gemini. Fast service and excellent support from AMS. Happy customer and looking forward to more purchases.
Excellent. Love it. A bargain at the price for such a large diecast.
The quality was amazing definitely recommend
Accurate and nice model.
A good attempt at this livery ! Same sort of shade that the silver/pearlescent paint job it had in real life and too date no brand has ever go truly right! Though the 2 Phoenix versions of 300 and 600 variants A340 types they released in this Virgin Atlantic livery of the time is best so far i have seen!
Why? More grey looking but not too dark, a fail in the sense NOT metallic but the brands that did do metallic paint like Gemini and Dragon Wings in the past when this livery actual adorned the real aircraft was too metallic Silver! It was a silver paint used by brands and the real paint look was really hard to get right as it had a metallic look but the same dull grey look the old BA Landor silver/grey matte job paint had!
In real life it did have a metallic look but no brand has ever really captured the real paint look,should have asked VA or Airbus what it was?
So overall,Phoenix are still in my mind the best at A340s,even so Av400 ones are very good too and HX.
My mark,8/10. Reason , paint not quite but best so far by anyone and not as modern with details like HX/YY wings and AV400 do on attention to details ! Example, engine details on engine cover art and jewel lights that Av400 offer!
Love it. Great detail :-)
Love the colours of it, looks good in my collection.
Nice good aircraft nice details,good Job NG MODELS 👍
