This
latest decal sheet from Mike Grant Decals
is for a USAF KC-135E that attended the Tiger Meet at Cold Lake Alberta
Canada in 2003. 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.
