Description
Description
On September 26, 2024, the last two KC-10 Extenders left Travis Air Force Base. 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. 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. The first model sports the insignia of the 60th Air Mobility Wing, the final U.S Air Force unit to operate the Extender (item no. 538367). In addition to a KC-10 in the original delivery colors of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (item no. 538374), the very first of 60 KC-10 built for the USAF, serial number 79-0433, is also being released in a limited edition in its original blue-and-white color scheme. She was ultimately retired in 2022 and is today on display at the Air Mobility Command Museum on Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

Very good model but a bit hard to put the wheels on as they seem fragile, the rest is easy to snap in place. Very beautiful plane👍 would recommend
Very nicely made model. Level of detail for the scale is very astounding. Material used is nice as well. Will definitely be buying from this brand again.
Just got this very good quality definitely recommend
A lovely well crafted model by one of the industry leading brands, NG's A330 ranks as one of the best on the market and in this model's case finished in the wonderful Indonesia livery with the Nintendo's Pokemon icon Pikachu printed brilliantly on the side. A must buy for A330 and gaming fans alike.
Dispatched and arrived quickly and packed suitably to protect the model just like any model from AMS. One of the best retailers in the UK.
Details are perfect. Good quality. Always wanted this aircraft in the easy jet livery. Absolutely brilliant
Nice a320 be aware of the size if you are not looking for the 1/400 scale
Model was dispatched very quickly, and arrived within a few days. Quality of model itself is very high, with diecast metal and very realistic details such as decals and antennas. Very good value for money, would definitely recommend.
