Product Description

[About the actual machine]
-B-29, a bomber that appeared at the end of World War II and demonstrated its high performance in high altitude bombing.
-The B-50 was born as an improved version.
-The B-29 appeared as a new type of bomber, but various changes and modifications were made to correspond to the loading of the new nuclear bomb with the times.
-Then B-29D was born.
-Furthermore, it was the B-50 that developed from that.
-Playing a part of the strategic aviation corps of the US Army newly established after the war, it led to the appearance of a large-scale bomber equipped with a full-scale jet engine.
-The first type, the B-50A, made its first flight in 1947.
-Equipped with four Pratt & Whitney R-4360-35 engines.
-In 1949, we received aerial refueling from a tanker that modified the B-29 as a pioneer of aerial refueling, and in 1949, we have also set a record of non-landing round the world flight.
-60 B-50A were produced, and each type was produced and played an active role until the retirement in the 1950s.

[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the America's last reciprocating strategic bomber B-50A with a completely new mold.
-Among the B-50s, the first model B-50A that flew and was deployed in 1947 was modeled.
-In order to accurately reproduce the characteristics of the aircraft, we have accurately modeled every detail with a new mold.
-Not only the shape but also the propeller parts and leg parts that can be rotated after completion are realistically reproduced.
-It is also possible to lower the landing gear and finish it in a parked state.
-In addition, the landing gear can be stored and assembled in the flight state, and in that case, the display stand is also firmly prepared.
-Select two markings.
