Usaf C-118 Liftmaster

This 1:72 scale model depicts the elegant Douglas C-118 Liftmaster, the military version of the iconic DC-6 airliner, used by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy from the 1950s to the 1970s for personnel transport, logistics, and VIP operations.

Powered by four Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engines, the C-118 offered excellent range, reliability, and payload capacity, serving as the VC-118 “Independence”, President Truman’s personal aircraft.

The Academy kit features finely engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit, movable propellers, realistic landing gear, and complete cargo detailing.

High-quality decals reproduce the polished metal finish with blue USAF stripes, typical of the 1960s transport fleet.

A graceful and historic model celebrating the golden age of American air transport.
