This was built for the Desert Storm group build.  A Heller 1/72 Boeing 707 modified using a VERY old (1993) Leading Edge decal sheet which came with resin refueling pods.

The scheme chosen was the last operational scheme as used during Canada's contribution to Desert Storm.  Canada sent over a couple squadrons of CF-18 Hornets and support aircraft such as Sea Kings, Challenger transport jets and the big boy CC-137 Boeing 707.

I got all the stuff needed for this build from the Royal Canadian Model Mafia.  Trades here on ARC are a great thing for finding those 20 years out of production stuff that just are not found anywhere else.
