Model Airplane Factory offers handmade Air Force C141 B Starlifter Wood Model Airplane, artistically created from the finest grade of kiln-dried Mahogany wood. After carving the wood, the C-141B Starlifter display model plane will undergo stages of fine sanding, between primer coats, to produce a silky smooth finish ready for final painting. The C141 Starlifter model airplane will be painted according to the specific Euro I paint scheme of the C-141 Starlifter aircraft for their historical significance and authenticity.


To correct the perceived deficiencies of the original model and utilize the C-141 to the fullest of its capabilities, 270 C-141As were stretched, adding needed payload volume. These modified aircraft were designated C-141B. It was a variant of C-141 manufactured by Lockheed Corporation and its primary user is the United States Air Force. Additional 'plug' sections were added before and after the wings, lengthening the fuselage by 23 ft 4 in (7.11 m) and allowing the carriage of 103 litters for wounded, 13 standard pallets, 205 troops, 168 paratroopers, or an equivalent increase in other loads. Also added at this time was a boom receptacle for inflight refueling. The conversion program took place between 1977 and 1982. It was estimated that this stretching program was the equivalent of buying 90 new aircraft, in terms of increased capacity.
