Company KC-97/B-377 Resin Detail Sets By Michael Benolkin
Cobra Company has released three new detail sets for the Boeing Model 377/KC-97 Stratofreighter family.
Set
72009 will provide any of the three Academy 1/72 releases (C-97A, KC-97G
& KC-97L) with replacement engine nacelles, with more depth and detail.
The set also includes replacement turbosuperchargers to give the kit
more of the 'right' look, as well as a set of nosewheel shimmy dampers
missing in the kit. For the KC-97G and KC-97L kits, Cobra also provides
the later styled wheels, an additional antenna 'bump' found on many
of the tankers, and the late model director lights that were located
on the forward underbelly of the aircraft.
