[About the actual machine]
-The B-29 Super Fortress was a bomber that was put into operation in 1944 and was introduced into the Japanese mainland air raids at the end of World War II.
-Developed from the beginning as a long-range bomber flying at high altitude, adopting a pressurized cabin. In addition, the engine is equipped with four light R-3350 air-cooled star-type double-row 18-cylinder engines equipped with a turbocharger.
-The maximum bomb load reached 9 tons.
-After the war, various types appeared by remodeling the surplus aircraft.
-One of them was an aerial refueling machine corresponding to the air-hollow transportation technology realized after the war.
-The first type is KB-29M, which has been in operation since 1948.
-After that, when the flying boom method was put to practical use, a type with the system mounted on the tail of the aircraft was developed. That is KB-29P.
-Over 100 aircraft have been refurbished and operated since B-29.

[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the American Air Force's aerial refueling machine KB-29 developed on the basis of B-29 at 1/144 scale.
-Above all, it models the KB-29P type equipped with a flying boom at the tail of the aircraft.
-The total length is about 20 cm and the wingspan is about 30 cm.
-The flying boom of the aerial refueling system firmly reproduces its shape with new mold parts.
-The appearance of the flying boom that extends to the tail is full of charm.
-Also, the kit can be assembled by selecting flight status or ground parking status.
-Not to mention the reproduction of the landing gear, a display stand is also available, and I am looking forward to the exhibition of the flying state with the flying boom deployed.
