1:400 Diecast: USAF Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy 85-0009 "Bob Laing" (GeminiJets GMUSA142)

Serial 85-0009, production number 500-95, is a Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy operated by the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC). The C-5M designation marks airframes reengined under the Reliability Enhancement and Re-Engining Program (RERP), replacing the original TF39 engines with General Electric F138-GE-100 turbofans — the military designation of the CF6-80C2. On the aft fuselage, this aircraft carries the name "Bob Laing" as a named dedication.

Livery & Visual Details

Uniform matte medium military grey covers the entire airframe — fuselage, wings, empennage, and all four engine nacelles. Forward fuselage text reads "U.S. AIR FORCE" in black, with "85-0009" below it, and "AIR MOBILITY COMMAND" in smaller black lettering beneath. On the aft fuselage near the fin base: "AFRC" and "85-0009" in white, with "Bob Laing" in white below. The vertical stabilizer carries an AFRC unit emblem — a white star on a blue field with red and white stripes — and repeats "AFRC" and the serial in white. "USAF" is stenciled on the upper wing surface in black. High-wing T-tail configuration accurately rendered. Four underwing engine nacelles in matching military grey.

Model Craft & Collectibility

GeminiJets GMUSA142 reproduces the C-5M in 1:400 scale diecast. At 18.83 cm in length, this model reflects the C-5's status as one of the largest aircraft ever mass-produced in 1:400 scale — its wingspan span of nearly 68 meters on the real aircraft translates to approximately 16.98 cm on the model. Named AFRC airframes with verified unit markings are a focused category for USAF transport collectors.
