This magnificent model aircraft is crafted by hand by a master modeler. The details on the aircraft models hull and fuselage are painstakingly carved from solid mahogany. The intricate details of the features of the real aircraft are masterfully carved into this model aircraft. This is what puts our models above the competition.

The paint work is done by hand and the call signs, insignias and other artwork are matched to the original airplane. A clear coat is then applied to protect the model plane and it's intricate artwork for a lifetime of enjoyment.

Unbeatable unmatched quality best describes our handcrafted model airplanes just like the C133. After many hours of crafting the exact details by our master modelers, the parts are sanded and primed to perfection. Talented artists then paint on the intricate details with great skill and care. A final coat of clear lacquer protects the model of the airplane and gives it a glossy finish The Model airplane then exhibits a superior quality and intricate design to obtain the exact look of the actual aircraft.


The C-133 was the USAF's only production turboprop-powered strategic air lifter, entering service shortly after Lockheed's better known C-130 Hercules. It provided airlift services in a wide range of applications, being replaced by the C-5 Galaxy in the early 1970s. It was a large cargo aircraft built between 1956 and 1961 by the Douglas Aircraft Company for use with the United States Air Force.

The C-133 had large tail doors and side doors and a large, open cargo area. With the C-133B, the rear cargo doors were modified to open to the side (petal doors), making an opening large enough to transport ballistic missiles such as the Atlas, Titan and Minuteman more cheaply, safely and quickly than road transport. Several hundred Minuteman and other ICBMs were airlifted to and from their operational bases by C-133s. The C-133 also transported Atlas, Saturn and Titan rockets to Cape Canaveral  for use as launch boosters in the Gemini, Mercury and Apollo space programs. After the Apollo capsules splashed down, they were airlifted in C-133s from Norfolk Naval Station, Virginia or Hickam AFB, Hawaii to Ellington AFB, Texas, or to California.

C-133s set a number of unofficial records, including records for military transport aircraft on trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific routes. Among the longest were non-stop flights from Tachikawa AB, Japan to Travis AFB, CA (17:20 hours on 22 May 1959, 5,150 mi/8,288 km, 297.2 mph/478.3 km/h) and Hickam AFB, HI to Dover AFB, DE in about 16 hours (4,850 mi/7,805 km 303.1 mph/487.8 km/h).
