  Attached are photos of an 1/72 scale NKC-135A I built for my father a few years ago. This aircraft is one of two that are the strongest electronic aircraft jamming platforms in the military. These aircraft known as NUCAR 1 and NUCAR 2 are now retired in Arizona. Theit sister ship, an EC-24 (Modified DC-8) performed the same mission and it is also in storage there.
   
  The kit is AMT/Ertl KC-135 kit modified with the pods, addition of chaff dispensers and refueling boom removed.
   
  Picture NUCAR1-5 shows the chaff dispenser chute and refueling mod.
   
  Picture NUCAR1-3 shows the multiple pods or "hard points" under the wing.
   
  Picture SHOWIMAGE is of the actual aircraft.
   
  The other shots are self explanatory.
