Academy have released a new version of their 1/72nd scale B-29 SuperFortress range.

B-29‘S RAID TOKYO
Scale - 1/72nd
Item No - 12413
The B-29 SuperFortress whose name was adapted from it's smaller brother, the B-17, 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. By the time it was retired in the 1960s, some 3,900 planes had been built.
One of the decal options for this kit is for the: Serial No: 44-61562 of the 28th BS, 19th BG, SAC.
This plane flew about 90 sorties during Korean War.
