Just ordered this today. My last Dora was Dragon's 1/48 kit. It didn't have the open wheel wells showing the engine, but outside of that it was an interesting, challenging and well detailed kit. This one looks to be a bit easier but still looks well detailed.

Just arrived.
I worked TDY tankers (A's and E's) at Andersen AFB Guam along with B-52D's and G's, Summer of 84's I went to Indiana (Grissom AFB) 305AREfW KC-135A and D and EC-135G and L. We had all of the A's that were commonly called RT-135 because they were radio relay capable, whole rows of antenna down there backs.

I left Grissom in 88 to go to Kadena AB Okinawa, Japan for the 961 AWACS. we had B and C E-3 Sentry aircraft. This kit will build without all the bumps and bulges for the earlier type.

A most beautiful Boeing.
 
It must have been exciting to work on these planes, Donivanp 🤩
At times, other times, well you know, felt like it was kicking the s@!t out of you.
