DHL Cargo BC-17A FLIGHT OF FANCY

Description

Boeing’s desperate efforts to prolong the life of the C-17A Globemaster III production line finally yielded fruit when three airlines ordered the civilian version of the cargo aircraft, the BC-17A. The launch order was placed by Lufthansa, a long-time leader in the cargo business. Not to be outdone, DHL Express ordered BC-17s as well. The aircraft are being delivered in DHL’s current color scheme, featuring a bright yellow fuselage, with a red belly. Color matches are Humbrol #69 Gloss Yellow and Revell #31 Gloss Red (thanks Ben Godlington!)
