A sheet in 1:144 for four Superfortresses whose subjects reach from the fighting of 1945 over the Pacific to the Korean deployment of the early 1950s.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Boeing B-29 was an exceptionally complex machine for its day: a pressurized cabin, remotely controlled defensive turrets and a range that allowed attacks on the Japanese islands from the Marianas. After the war it served on and took part in the Korean conflict as well, where jet fighters now stood in its way.
That very span of time makes the set unusual. Side by side stand:
Two machines therefore belong to the end of the Second World War and two to the Korean deployment. A model built to a Korean subject looks different at first glance, because postwar machines flew without tactical bands and with a different layout of the lettering.
It is also worth noting how the role of the aircraft itself changed over those six years. A machine built for long-range daylight raids became a carrier that in Korea flew mostly at night, because by day the jet fighters gave it no chance. A model built to a Korean subject therefore tells a different story from one of 1945.
The carrier film is thin, so once dry on a gloss surface it practically disappears. Transfer it with a damp brush, blot the excess water off and let the model rest for at least an hour before you start varnishing. Settle the names on the nose first, so that the remaining lettering can be laid out to match them.
