The Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber was produced in the United States (USA) and was one of the most advanced heavy bombers of World War II, used from 1944 onwards primarily by the USAAF. These aircraft were widely used during the air campaigns over Japan, and two planes – Enola Gay and Bockscar – became famous as the carriers of atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The B-29 Superfortress remained in service also during the post-war period, including during the Korean War.

This set includes a complete set of wheels with weighted tyres, corresponding to the type used on late production versions of the B-29. The resin parts feature precisely rendered tread details, tyre profiles, and wheel bolt patterns, far surpassing the standard plastic components included with basic kits. The weighted tyre effect significantly boosts the model's realism, especially when displayed on dioramas and airfield bases. The resin used for the Armory Models set is characterized by its high durability and ease of processing, making assembly relatively straightforward even for less experienced modelers.

The set is dedicated to both advanced and intermediate modelers who want to improve the historical and visual quality of their B-29 Superfortress bomber models. We rate the assembly difficulty level at 2/5. This product is especially recommended for aircraft modeling enthusiasts, World War II model collectors, and diorama lovers.

If you're looking for an easy yet extremely effective way to enhance the realism of your 1/72 B-29, the Armory Models AW72358 set is a highly recommended choice.
