Revell 03747 1/144 Boeing C-17A Globemaster

Boeing C-17A Globemaster III: The long-awaited comeback of the packhorse

This is a real sensation for 1:144 scale modelers: The Boeing C-17A Globemaster III is back! Last released in 2011, this kit is considered to be the only serious ("mainstream") kit from this giant in this scale. Now you finally have another chance to build this impressive piece of modern military aviation. With a length and wingspan of over 35 cm each, this model goes beyond the usual dimensions of your 1:144 collection and impresses with a level of detail that is otherwise only known from larger scales.

The C-17A thrives on its power. When assembling it, you will notice how massive the hull is designed to transport tanks and helicopters in the original. The fine engravings on the outer skin and the precise replica of the four engines ensure a realistic look. The depiction with the rear ramp open is particularly attractive, revealing a view of the loading space and making the model the perfect centerpiece of an airport diorama.

The Boeing C-17A Globemaster III is the backbone of the West's strategic and tactical airlift capabilities. It can transport heavy loads across continents and still land on short, unpaved runways. While often associated with the US Air Force, the British RAF and Australian RAAF aircraft (included in this kit) also provide vital service in humanitarian relief and military operations worldwide.
