USAF KC-97L Stratofreighter, ca.1950-70s.
Cold War era four-piston-engined American strategic tanker aircraft derived from the commercial Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter which had its origins in the B-29 Superfortress. The KC-97L was a late variant featuring two J47 jet engines which increased the aircraft’s speed allowing it to effectively refuel the new jet bombers of the era. The tanker carried its own gasoline plus jet fuel for air-to-air refuelling. The KC-97 replaced the KB-29 tanker and was succeeded by the KC-135 Stratotanker.

Reboxed Minicraft kit with new decals. Choice of markings for 2 aircraft: (1) KC-97L 52-0869, Utah ANG, Iceland 1977; (2) KC-97L 52-0905, 128th Air Refuelling Group, Wisconsin ANG, Greenham Common Air Tattoo, UK, July 1973. This aircraft is preserved at Wisconsin National Guard Museum, Volk Field, Camp Douglas, WI.
