The Douglas C-133A Cargomaster is a heavy transport aircraft introduced into USAF service in the mid-1950s. It was designed to carry unusual cargo, including components of ballistic missiles, under the challenging and demanding conditions of the Cold War. The PGM-17 Thor was the first American medium-range ballistic missile, adopted in 1959; its presence in Europe was part of the U.S. missile deployment program within the NATO alliance, particularly in the United Kingdom. This combination in a kit allows modelers to recreate the real process of strategic arms transport.
