[No9] 1/144 Boeing B-29 F-13A "Korean War"

Command the skies of the Korean War with the Fujimi 1/144 Boeing B-29 F-13A "Korean War" model kit, a detailed recreation of the iconic Superfortress in its reconnaissance variant. This limited reissue kit allows enthusiasts to build a piece of aviation history, capturing the imposing presence of the B-29 as it performed vital strategic and reconnaissance missions during the conflict.

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress, initially a cornerstone of strategic bombing in World War II, continued its crucial service during the Korean War. While initially used for strategic bombing, its role evolved to include reconnaissance and later, night bombing missions to counter the threat of MiG-15 fighters. The F-13A variant was specifically adapted for photo-reconnaissance, providing invaluable intelligence.

This kit features finely engraved panel lines, enhancing the realistic appearance of the aircraft. Builders will appreciate the inclusion of detailed bomb bays complete with a complement of bombs, offering an option for display. The cockpit interior is also represented, featuring instrument panels and control yokes, a notable detail for this scale. The kit boasts decently molded guns, clear parts, a proper tail gun position, and actual engine exhausts, providing a superior level of detail.

Included in the kit are decals to represent two distinct and colorful F-13A reconnaissance aircraft from the Korean War:

• "Dragon Lady" of the 30th Bombardment Squadron
• "Nevver Hoppen" of the 28th Bombardment Squadron
