Description

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was a revolutionary American heavy bomber, designed for high-altitude strategic bombing missions against Japan in World War II. Named in allusion to its predecessor, the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-29 featured pressurised crew compartments, remote-controlled gun turrets, and the ability to carry enormous bomb loads over vast distances. It remains famous as the only aircraft ever to use nuclear weapons in combat.

This 1/72 scale kit from Academy is a detailed replica of this iconic bomber, specifically the "Old Battler" aircraft. The model features a highly detailed cockpit and bomb bay interior, fully engraved panel lines and rivet details, and options for building the landing gear and bomb bay doors in open or closed positions. A highlight of this kit is the inclusion of premium quality decals, expertly printed by Cartograf.
