Ok bit of research tells me that although it didnt go into offical production till 1981 (and thats not eactly miles out of the 70's) they were evaluating them as early as 1975 - in the 'Advance Tanker Cargo Aircraft' thing...and the KC-10 first flew in 1980.

So as the evaluation models must have had all the gear on id say thats not a problem!

Only a small problem... the boom design was changed. Test aircraft had a KC-135 unit, while the production KC-10 has a different one

Here's mine, not the best but still a triple: Martinair DC 10 leaving Martinique.
