C141B Starlifter Gear Down
This version is with the landing gear down. This is an excessively big bird. It is printed in 3 pieces: fuselage, port, and starboard wings.
The Lockheed C-141B Starlifter was a long-range strategic military transport aircraft that served as the "workhorse" of the United States Air Force for over 40 years. It was a "stretched" version of the original C-141A, lengthened by 23 feet 4 inches to increase cargo volume and equipped with a universal air refueling receptacle for extended range. Throughout its service from 1965 to 2006, it played a vital role in major historical events, including repatriating American Prisoners of War from Vietnam (famously on the "Hanoi Taxi") and flying the most airlift missions during the Gulf War.
