Used to be. This was 58-6970 (SAM970) when she was delivered. She was part of an order for 3 707-120A models, that were later converted to B model specs.
Cheers, Gary

Looks great Gary. Love the old schemes!
We've got 55-3118 out in front of base. It's still as it was last, as an EC-135K, but might make for an interesting paint job. Or even as it rolled off the line as the first KC-135A.

Jeff,
I already have 3118 in the works. I just have a few things to clean up on her. I built her as she was at roll out. She has a short tail, the old style oil coolers mounted just in front of the engine fans, and no leading edge flaps. I thought about doing one of how she was before retirement.
Cheers, Gary

The 'Head Dancer' modifications to turn 3118 into the EC-135K were pretty neat when you look at the pictures that have been published. I'd like to see those on a model. Then again, I have these illusions of Grandeiur (sp?) when I look at all the possibilities for Recon -135s with the vUSAF....  |

Jeff,
Did they hang J-57's from 3118 just before displaying her? I have seen pictures of her with both J-57's and TF-33's
Cheers, Gary
