Product Description

Lockheed C-5B Galaxy (USAF 436 Airlift Wing) (1:400 scale)
- Dragon Warbirds have just announced an enormous item – a 1/400 scale model of the C-5B Galaxy. This large military transport aircraft from Lockheed Martin offers intercontinental strategic heavy airlift for the US Air Force, plus it has an in-flight refueling capability that extends its range even further. The Galaxy is easily identified by its size, its high wings & the distinctive T-tail. The 37m-long cargo compartment offers 880m³ of space, sufficient to carry items like M1 Abrams tanks or even bulky M60 AVLBs. The C-5 Galaxy entered service in 1969, & a total of 131 aircraft were built. The C-5B, the subject of this Warbirds item, is an upgraded version produced between 1986 & 1989. The C-5B featured enhanced wings & avionics, as well as upgraded TF-39-GE-1C turbofan engines. This model is impressive in size as well as in its inherent detail. The components are carefully engineered for accuracy & strength, whilst the markings are realistically rendered. This C-5B Galaxy model will look impressive in any aircraft collection thanks to its scale & detail.
