About product

Eduard 1:72 B-29 bomb bay photo-etched set

It is not a kit of the bomber but a full photo-etched set focused, according to its name, on the bomb bay. On the B-29 that is an extensive internal space which plastic kits as a rule handle only in suggested form, and that is exactly where thin photo-etched sheet makes sense: it can imitate the beams, the hinges and the structure of the walls at a thickness that cannot be reached with cast plastic. You will find the list of parts in the instructions with the set. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.

The real subject

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was an American four-engine heavy bomber of the end of the Second World War. For its day it was exceptionally advanced: it had a pressurized crew cabin and remotely controlled defensive turrets. It was used above all in the Pacific theater and after the war it served for a number of years more, among other things as a carrier and a test aircraft. It is precisely the pair of large bomb bays in the fuselage that is among its most striking features, and on a model with the doors open it is the most conspicuous place.

Building tips, and mind the 1:72 scale

The bomb bay has to be finished before the fuselage is glued together, so go through the whole instructions first and plan the order of the steps. In 1:72 scale the individual parts are tiny and easily fly off: use sharp tweezers, work under a magnifier and over a bounded light-colored surface. Bend long photo-etched strips first and try them dry, and only then glue them, because once the super glue has dried they can no longer be moved. Degrease and prime unpainted brass parts, otherwise the paint will not hold on the metal.

Who the set is for

  • Experienced modelers building the B-29 in 1:72 scale
  • Those who want a model with the bomb bay open
  • Builders who are used to working with photo-etch and tweezers
  • Modelers building a display-case piece, where the detail pays off

FAQ

No. It is a set of photo-etched parts for a separately bought plastic B-29 kit in 1:72 scale.

Then most of the work is lost. The set pays off mainly when you plan a model with the bomb bay doors open.

Before the fuselage halves are glued together. Once the fuselage is closed you will not get inside.

Check the color finish against the box of the set. With unpainted brass parts, allow for degreasing, a primer for metal and spraying.
