| Scale | 1/72 |
| Manufacturer | Spectre Resins |
| ID | SR72-AC-003 |
| Title | MILSTAR Dome |
| Relevant Aircraft | EC-135C, E-6B |
Spectre Resins continue to provide new and interesting subjects. This is one of their latest releases and was used on a small number of EC-135Cs and also on the E-6B.
Milstar is a joint service satellite communications system that provides secure, jam resistant, worldwide communications to meet essential wartime requirements for high priority military users. The multi-satellite constellation links command authorities with a wide variety of resources, including ships, submarines, aircraft and ground stations.
The dome is cast in tan resin as a single piece and is well shaped, although the surface will need a couple of coats of primer and some smoothing. I used my old KC-135A as a guinea pig, and one the pouring stub had been removed, the fit was pretty good, as can be seen.
All in all, a useful addition to their 1/72nd scale range!
