This large military transport aircraft from Lockheed Martin offers intercontinental strategic heavy airlift for the US Air Force, plus it has an in-flight refueling capability that extends its range even further. The Galaxy is easily identified by its size, its high wings and the distinctive T-tail. The 37m-long cargo compartment offers 880m³ of space, sufficient to carry items like M1 Abrams tanks or even bulky M60 AVLBs. The C-5 Galaxy entered service in 1969, and a total of 131 aircraft were built. The C-5B, the subject of this Warbirds item, is an upgraded version produced between 1986 and 1989. The C-5B featured improved wings and avionics, as well as upgraded TF-39-GE-1C turbofan engines. The 436th Airlift Wing based at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware operates some of the 50 C-5Bs that were built. Thus the markings on this 1/400 scale model depict this ?Eagle Wing? unit of the USAF?s Air Mobility Command (AMC). The C-5 and C-17 aircraft of the 436th Airlift Wing alone provide 25% of the USA?s intra-theater airlift capacity. The unit?s also ready to employ airdrop and special operations tactics. This model is impressive in size as well as in its inherent detail. The components are carefully engineered for accuracy and strength, while the markings are realistically rendered. This C-5B Galaxy model will look impressive in any aircraft collection thanks to its scale and detail. Display stand included.
