C-141A Starlifter Model Kit

Atlantis Models proudly re-releases Aurora’s classic Lockheed C-141A Starlifter, bringing back one of the most impressive vintage aircraft kits ever produced. The real C-141A was a groundbreaking strategic airlift aircraft for the U.S. Air Force, serving from 1965 to 2006 and redefining global military transport. Originally released by Aurora in 1969, this 1:108 scale kit has been unavailable for decades, making its return a highly anticipated event for modelers and collectors.

This large-scale kit features smooth silver-colored plastic with recessed panel lines and a clean surface free of heavy rivet detail, making it an excellent canvas for both casual builders and advanced modelers. The size of the finished model makes an immediate visual impact, while the simplified surface detail allows for easy assembly or enhanced finishing, depending on the builder’s preference.

The kit includes newly researched, historically accurate decals developed specifically for this release, offering two authentic U.S. Air Force C-141A marking options: an early natural-metal aircraft and a later white-and-gray scheme. Crystal-clear transparent parts provide excellent visibility into the cockpit area, and all major access doors—including the rear cargo doors—are defined with recessed panel lines.

Engineered in the classic Aurora style, the kit is designed for straightforward construction. The one-piece upper wing ensures correct wing anhedral, and the model may be displayed with the landing gear extended or retracted. While the kit builds cleanly out of the box, experienced modelers will also find ample opportunity to add scratch-built details or execute an eye-catching natural-metal finish.
