Description

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was one of the most famous and formidable bombing aircraft of the Second World War. During the War, these bombers were primarily used in the Pacific theatre. The first Boeing B-29 bomber entered service in the US Army Air Force in September 1943 and the last B-29 retired from service in September 1960. Over the years, a total of 1620 B-29 aircraft were built by Boeing at its Wichita, Kansas plant. Powered by four Wright R-3550 ‘Star-Engines’, an enormous load of remotely controlled ammunition, fuel, bombs and a pressurized compartment for a crew of 13 could be carried as far as 6000 miles and as high as 30,000 feet at a maximum speed of 357 mph.

Our particular 1/32 scale wooden model comes in the markings of Miss Dina Might. For those of you who remember the Airfix model kits she was the subject of one of their 1/72 scale model kits back in the golden days.
We have 2 of these models (1 sold already) All the K&C/JJD/TG figures shown are for scale comparison purposes only and are not included. This is a fixed wing variant whereas our last version had detachable wings.
