Took 15 years of searching to find this conversion kit. Used an AMT/ERTL KC-135A and two AMT/ERTL EC-135C kits to get the nose cut correctly. Did not use the HAVE-SENT flare dispensers on the engine struts as I used aftermarket CFM56 engines. Did not use the aft ventral part as I used an EC-C kit which already has that feature. Did not use the SPECTRE RESINS E-System's forward side cheeks, but should have to match the CFM56 engine conversion. The tail fin part was optional as these two birds now fly without this radome. Once the nose was properly cut, the kit went together easily. Decals were from an AMT/ERTL RC-135V and the EC-135C kits.

Ken, Thanks for detailing your conversion. Yes, many changes in antennae / engine fit depending on timeframe depicted. Would love to see some pictures! R/ Dutch
