Dragon Models 1/400 C-5M Super Galaxy, 418th Flight Test Squadron 436th Airlift Wing

Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy (USAF 436 Airlift Sqn) (1:400 scale by Dragon 56274-03) 1:400 scale - made by Dragon. As well as the famous C-130 Hercules, Lockheed Martin also built the much larger C-5 Galaxy. As one of the largest military aircraft in the world, this American strategic transport aircraft is capable of intercontinental flight. Its design features high wings and a T-tail. The US Air Force (USAF) has operated the C-5A Galaxy since 1969, with the modernized C-5B appearing in 1986. A total of 131 aircraft were built, of which around 33 remain in active service. The Galaxy's cavernous interior is accessed via a large nose hatch or from a rear ramp, with the body able to contain 880m³ of cargo. However, to better transport large-sized cargo, two aircraft were especially modified by removing the rear passenger compartment floor and splitting the rear cargo door in the middle. These so-called C-5C versions are able to accommodate odd-sized loads such as satellites for NASA.
