During the Tiger Meet last year in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada....this KC-135E flew up from the 108th Refueling Wing to join in the exercise and associated fun. This KC-135 not only had a great Tiger Meet Scheme......but there was even a Tiger Tail coming out the back end of this plane's tail.
It's common to see fighters painted up in Tiger Meet Schemes......but something like a KC-135 a rare event on the Tiger Meet Social Calendar. This particular scheme has a patriotic note to it with a large American flag flying directly beside the Tiger on the side of the fuselage. The artist that did the original artwork did a stellar job getting the look and feel correct and Mike Grant Decals has followed through and gotten their artwork to look equally as beautiful as the full sized plane.
Although the AMT KC-135 is no longer in production....this kit is still to be found on E-Bay and swap meets and other places where out of production kits are sold.
