With a length of 14.7" and a wing span of 13.25", the C-5, also nicknamed "Lockheed Hilton" for its cavernous cargo hold, possesses considerable dimensions - even in 1/200. For the first time, a model of this strategic airlifter is released in 1/200 scale. Metal landing gear with rubber tires provide a sure standing for this resin-made model. This first release depicts a modernized C-5M Super Galaxy of the 9th Airlift Squadron from Dover Air Base, Delaware.

The 60th is the largest air mobility and air refueling wing of the USAF. Its home base is Travis Air Force Base, California, and operates, in addition to C-17s and KC-10s, a larger number of recently modernized C-5M Super Galaxy strategic Transports.

The first C-5 arrived at Westover in Massachusetts back in 1987. Most aircraft now operated have been upgraded to the C-5M Super Galaxy standard with new electronics and new, more efficient and powerful engines. The "Patriot Wing" as the 439th Wing is also called, has the logo of the New England Patriots football team that also call Massachusetts their home, applied to the vertical stabilizers of its C-5s.
