This was the biggest major aircraft of WWII and caps a collection of WWII aircraft in 1/48th scale. The kit can be built as a conventional bomber with all the turret guns, as well as the atomic bomber version with all but the tail guns removed and replaced with flush fairings. There are also models of the Fat Man and Little Boy atomic bombs and ground crew if a diorama is desired. The pieces are molded in dull aluminum, black, and clear, and because the B-29 was almost always deployed without camouflage in WWII, the kit can be reasonably produced without paint, but a modeler advanced enough to make this kit will doubtless want to paint it, particularly the extensive interior. I don't see any downsides to this kit, or the other big bombers in the Monogram series now re-released by Revell.

This is one impressive kit.The amount of detail is superb, both inside and out.I just started mine but am impressed with the fit and ease of assembly. It will take a lot of paint for this monster.I plan on building mine with flaps extended, using the aftermarket flap kit for this model. This is another in the beautiful line of Monogram bombers, now released by Revelle. I highly recommend this beautiful kit of the ultimate bomber of WW2.

This was a fun model. Nice and big so you can work on the little tiny details without messing up. Lots of details and lots of paint needed because of the scale of this model. Big and easy to put on stickers and all of the parts fit! great model! recommend it for anyone!!
