She is unusual to look at because she wore Olive Drab over Neutral Grey — most Superfortresses flew in bare metal, and the olive-green scheme was applied to only a handful. She was sent to India in 1944 and flew long-range missions over Asia from bases in the China-Burma-India theater, returned to the United States late that year, ended her service at Pyote Army Airfield in Texas and was scrapped in 1949.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B-29 itself was the most technically advanced bomber of the war, with pressurized crew compartments and remotely controlled gun turrets aimed through a central fire-control system — a generation ahead of the B-17 that preceded it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the COBI range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 1:72 the model belongs to COBI's Historical Collection WWII range and stands correctly alongside the other 1:72 aircraft in the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,074 · \u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:72 · \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.5 × 60 × 13 cm (17.1 × 23.6 × 5.1 in), 14.5 cm high on the stand\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COBI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52834915516698,"sku":"5774","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/3134\/9786\/files\/5774-box-front.png?v=1789789804","url":"https:\/\/notjustcollectibles.com\/products\/cobi-boeing-b-29-superfortress-set-5774","provider":"Not Just Collectibles, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
