Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker 57-1472 Grissom Air Force Base

These are 1/72 scale decals for Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker 57-1472, assigned to the 72nd Air Refueling Squadron, 434th Air Refueling Wing, based at Grissom Air Force Base, Indiana.

The KC-135R is the re-engined and modernized variant of the Stratotanker, upgraded with CFM56 turbofan engines that dramatically improved fuel efficiency, range, and offload capacity compared to the original J57-powered KC-135A. The 434th Air Refueling Wing is an Air Force Reserve Command unit with a long history of aerial refueling operations, supporting both strategic and tactical aircraft across a wide range of missions.

Grissom AFB — named for astronaut and test pilot Virgil "Gus" Grissom — has been home to tanker operations for decades and remains one of the key Reserve tanker bases in the Midwest.
