It can be built in either wheels up/down configuration and a two-piece stand is supplied for the former The exterior detail comprises fine recessed panel lines, including cargo and passenge door outlines. All trim is supplied, although the cheat line should be used for a masking guide on the fuselage and vertical stabiliser There are two schemes, both wearing the standard US Air Force VIP livery of medium blue undersides with white upper surfaces and Boeing Gray wings:
