KC-135R
Posted by plasticmod992 on Monday, October 6, 2003 6:59 PM
Anyone know where I can find a kit of the KC-135R Stratotanker? I believe it's the one with the newer, larger F-108 high-bypass engines. I remember AMT/ErtL made this kit some time ago, but I can find it anywhere. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

My brother gave me that kit about 7 years ago. He got it at a place called Hobby Maker in Bedford, TX which is outside of Ft. Worth. I know that they have a lot of hard to find kits. He still lives in the area and I can try to have him track down the # for you.

Greg,
I did not even think about their website. It is www.hobbymaker.com and the # is 1-800-274-8076. I did a quick search for a KC-135 and it did not come up with a kit. Give them a call and see what they can do. Hope this helps.

Try ebay. I just got one there, it cost way too much.Dead [xx(] I called all the locale hobby shops and the ones in FSM no luck. Good luck in your search.

Checked the local shop, he has a single copy of the -135R on shelf. Cost is 29.99, he however, no longer ships, if you want the kit let me know, I will buy it and send it to you. Just send check for kit and we can figure out shipping later. Vince
