Mike,

I was looking at the RC-135V Rivet Joint (8 saw service) and the RC-135W Rivet Joint (9 saw service). The only major difference between them is that the engines of the W have reversers and those of the V do not. So that's one model only. Basically they are the same as the RC-135V you made but with TF33 engines and not so many aerials. I'll try and find some pics.

Here is the EC-135J/P model based on a photo from 1989. I am starting with Mark's paints and working backwards from the J/P model for some of the Looking Glass aircraft.

Chris I will retro engine the RC's for you eventually but this was an easy mod to the basic KC-135E model and got me to get FSDS all set up to crank out models once again, my first model compile in over a year!

Nice to see these little variations make it to individual models. Nice one, Mike.

I have always thought the 135 series look so good and in my opinion the CF33 engine ones look the best.
Thanks Mike for bringing them to our skies. I am looking forward to whatever you make for us.
