About product

The KC-10 Extender tanker and the Dutch KDC-10 in 1:144 scale

This injection-molded plastic kit from the Ukrainian brand AMP represents the three-engined tanker and transport aircraft derived from the wide-body DC-10 airliner. One box covers the American KC-10 Extender and the Dutch KDC-10 alike, so before building you choose which air force the finished model will belong to.

The real aircraft

The KC-10 came about at the end of the 1970s from a requirement to refuel in flight over long distances and at the same time to carry cargo and personnel. Compared with its civil predecessor it was given tanks in the lower deck, a refueling boom at the tail and a station for the operator who controls the transfer of fuel. The Dutch Air Force had two former transport machines rebuilt to KDC-10 standard and operated them for decades, among other things on moves of its own fighter squadrons across the ocean.

Building recommendation

The fuselage has long smooth flanks on which every unevenness shows, so it pays to fill and sand the seams carefully to a high smoothness. Apply the base in thin coats; light shades then hold an even tone better. Mask the windows and transparencies before you reach for the airbrush, and lay the extensive decals onto a gloss surface, so that no silvered edges form under them.

Who the model suits

  • collectors of large aircraft in a small scale
  • anyone interested in refueling in flight
  • modelers who enjoy painting extensive unbroken surfaces
  • fans of the Dutch Air Force

In the package you will find parts for building; paints, glue and other modeling supplies are not to be looked for in it, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

KC-10 Extender is the American designation, while KDC-10 was carried by the machines rebuilt for the Dutch Air Force. The box covers both forms.

The build is manageable even for the less experienced, but the large smooth surfaces call for patience when filling and painting.

It is derived from the wide-body three-engined DC-10 airliner, adapted for military transport and refueling.
