Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1:200 scale United States Air Force (USAF) McDonnell Douglas KC-10A Extender by Inflight200 from Travis Air Force Base.

Since 1995, the KC-10 Extender had been based at Travis Air Force Base North Carolina. On September 26, 2024, they held a farewell ceremony for the Air Force’s last KC-10, a refuelling tanker that served for 44 years. The final KC-10, tail number 79-1948, took its last flight to the Davis-Monthan Boneyard in Arizona. 79-1948, fleet number 91948, was delivered to the United States Air Force in July 1982. Known for its immense fuel capacity and comfort, the KC-10 supported numerous missions around the world, including Operation El Dorado Canyon in 1986, the longest fighter combat mission in history.

The aircraft, nicknamed “Gucci 10” and “Big Sexy,” became a symbol of excellence at the 9th Air Refuelling Squadron, where “Gucci” became a motto of pride. Though retiring, the KC-10’s legacy continues with the newer KC-46 Pegasus.

This model air-plane is made from die-cast metal and includes extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Gemini Jets, Phoenix Models, JC Wings and Aviation200.

Includes a display stand with a plaque personalised to the aircraft type.
