There's just something special about those four-engined heavyweights!

Thanks Kari - been a fun project.

Color on.

Looks better in Gray now. Which markings will this have?

I had to once I saw this set on Draw decals

I presume that they are they guys here at Sky Harbor… see them flying overhead every now and then

Yes - google says The 161st Air Refueling Wing is located at the Goldwater Air National Guard Base on the south side of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

I like that KC-135, that will be a stunner in the end.

Just inished another of the 190ies I'm doing at the moment

Martin, your Dora looks great! More photos of this beauty please!

I always find it interesting when Reserve or Active air elements are based at a civil airport. Hickham AFB is directly adjoining Honolulu International Airport and shares their runways. Last year when we flew to Fresno to visit out youngest I saw the CA ANG F-15s taxiing about and their shelters over on one side of that airport. Flying in and out of Sky Harbor I’ve seen those 135s sitting at their “base”. And I do remember my dad telling me that his Air Force Reserve Bomb Wing in the 50’s was located at Long Beach Airport and his monthly drills on their B-26 Invaders at the time…

Working on positioning the stowage on the Landcruiser - need to sand the cooler top a bit. Suggestions welcome.





I'll tie it all down with coffee dyed string once glued.
