Gemini Jets USAF C-17A Globemaster III March AFB 1/400 Diecast Model Aircraft GMUSA148

This is a Gemini Jets 1:400 scale diecast model aircraft depicting the USAF C-17A Globemaster III, wearing the colours of March Air Reserve Base with registration 05-5144.

About this model

The Globemaster III serves as a mainstay of USAF heavy airlift capability, and this release captures it in the scheme flown at March Air Reserve Base. Diecast metal forms the fuselage and wings, with panel lines, aerials and access panel outlines picked out across the airframe.

Rather than decals, the USAF roundels and lettering are pad-printed onto the model, keeping the markings sharp and durable over years of handling and display. It comes ready assembled and finished, with the metal undercarriage fixed in the down position for ground display.
