The Academy 12640 USAF KC-97L Stratofreighter 1/144 Scale Plastic Model Kit delivers a finely detailed replica of the legendary Boeing tanker and transport aircraft that served during the Cold War era. This kit accurately captures the KC-97L’s distinctive refueling pods, four powerful radial engines, and the aircraft’s sleek, high-wing profile.

Molded in crisp, high-quality plastic, the model includes finely recessed panel lines, detailed landing gear, and optional parts to build either the refueling or transport configuration. The kit also features authentic USAF markings that bring the Stratofreighter’s service history to life, making it a perfect addition for aviation modelers interested in post-war and early jet-age aircraft.

Whether displayed in flight or on the ground, this 1/144 scale KC-97L is a rewarding project that highlights one of the key aircraft that bridged the gap between piston-engine and jet-powered aviation.
