About this aircraft:

The B-29 was one of the largest aircraft to see service during World War II. It was one of the most advanced bombers of its time, featuring innovations such as a pressurized cabin, a central fire-control system, and remote-controlled machine gun turrets. It was designed as a high-altitude daytime bomber, but flew more low-altitude nighttime incendiary bombing missions. It was the primary aircraft in the U.S. firebombing campaign against Japan in the final months of World War II, and B-29s carried the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Unlike many other bombers, the B-29 remained in service long after the war ended, a few being employed as flying television transmitters for Stratovision. The type was finally retired in the early 1960s, with 3,960 aircraft having been built between 1943 and 1946. 

This 1/144 scale diecast model is nicknamed "Look Homeward Angel", and it has been superbly assembled and affixed with colorful markings, including the nose art "pirate" illustrations. Another feature of this aircraft is the four new MG gun mounts - two on top of the fuselage and two under the belly - that made the B-29 Superfortress so much more formidable. These MG mounts could rotate 360° to counter enemy fighters coming from any direction. All these characteristics have been incorporated into this mighty Warbirds B-29 Superfortress, which is bristling with both details and machine guns!
