Lockheed C-5A Galaxy USAF 68-0222 Martinsburg AFB 1:400 Diecast Model by GeminiJets

Add one of America's most recognizable strategic airlifters to your military aviation collection with this 1:400 scale Lockheed C-5A Galaxy from the GeminiJets Gemini Macs series. Representing U.S. Air Force aircraft 68-0222 associated with Martinsburg Air Force Base, this detailed diecast model captures the enormous proportions and distinctive profile of the legendary C-5 Galaxy in collector-friendly scale.

Developed by Lockheed for the United States Air Force, the C-5 Galaxy was designed to transport exceptionally large and heavy cargo across intercontinental distances. Its massive fuselage, high-mounted swept wings, four-engine configuration, and distinctive T-tail made the Galaxy one of the most immediately recognizable military transport aircraft ever built.

Aircraft 68-0222 represents the early C-5A generation that helped establish America's modern strategic airlift capability. The real aircraft's mission centered on moving troops, vehicles, helicopters, equipment, and oversized cargo to destinations around the world.

Part of GeminiJets' military-oriented Gemini Macs series, this 1:400 model combines diecast construction with detailed exterior features and true-to-scale proportions. At approximately 7.5 inches long with a wingspan of approximately 6.5 inches, it makes an impressive addition to a collection of U.S. Air Force aircraft, military transports, Cold War aviation, or GeminiJets models.
