Specific Item Information: The KC-97 evolved from the very successful Boeing B-377 airliner and U.S. Air Force C-97 transport. The KC-97 was adapted to carry fuel for airborne refueling of United States Air Force aircraft starting in the late 1940’s. The KC-97 served well into the 1970’s with Air National Guard units. This latest release of the KC-97 is the last operational version of the tanker. New tooling adds new out-board jet engines that improved speed and load carrying capacity to extend the useful life of the KC-97.

This new kit features new tooling for outboard jet engines representing the KC-97L with markings for 2 aircraft serving the Strategic Air Command. Kit includes 66 parts molded in gray plastic, 2 clear, Assembly Manual, and premium decals by Cartograf.
Road Name History:
The United States Air Force (USAF) is the aerial and space warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the seven American uniformed services. Initially part of the United States Army, the USAF was formed as a separate branch of the U.S. Armed Forces on 18 September 1947 under the National Security Act of 1947. It is the most recent branch of the U.S. Armed Forces to be formed.
