RAG03747 - Revell 1/144 Boeing C-17A Globemaster III

This is a real sensation for 1:144 scale modelers: The Boeing C-17A Globemaster III is back! Last released in 2011, this kit is considered to be the only serious ("mainstream") kit from this giant in this scale. Now you finally have another chance to build this impressive piece of modern military aviation. With a length and wingspan of over 35 cm each, this model goes beyond the usual dimensions of your 1:144 collection and impresses with a level of detail that is otherwise only known from larger scales.

Background information

The Boeing C-17A Globemaster III is the backbone of the West's strategic and tactical airlift capabilities. It can transport heavy loads across continents and still land on short, unpaved runways. While often associated with the US Air Force, the British RAF and Australian RAAF aircraft (included in this kit) also provide vital service in humanitarian relief and military operations worldwide.

Scope of delivery

• Plastic model kit (not assembled)
• Illustrated, multilingual building instructions
• Decal set (Royal Air Force & Royal Australian Air Force)

The Royal Canadian Air Force operates five aircraft as the CC-177.  All five belong to 429 "Bison" Squadron and are based at CFB Trenton.
