5.0 out of 5 stars My dad's Christmas wish, January 18, 2011

My critically ill father wanted this. Hearing him say, "wow, wow, wow" after tearing away the Christmas paper was enough for me to say it was a 5-star toy. He was giddy like a little kid. Not the best review, but an honest one.

This review is from: Revell 1:48 B29 Superfortress (Toy)

I was with my dad one day in a hobby shop and came across this B-29 model. We were stunned to find that it was "Cream of the Crop." My dad was shot down by a MiG-15 in that plane on October 22nd of 1951 and after limping along for as long as possible, the crew ultimately bailed out over the Yellow Sea (and was obviously rescued). He recalled that when he jumped from the plane he couldn't remember the word "Geronimo" and so he yelled "YIPEE!" He shared how he watched the plane roll over and toward the sea after everyone bailed out. He said the plane was in horrible shape with huge holes in the fuselage and parts of the wing and vertical stabilizer missing - he said it was an amazing plane and unbelievable that it stayed aloft as long as it did... Thought you might like to know a little about its history. As you might imagine, we purchased the model. :-)

My son and I are now 100% through putting this model together. No issues at all. This is not as big as the RB-36H Peacemaker. This is the first model that I spray painted the fuselage verses paint brushed it. Big improvement in the outcome.

All of the airplane models are hanging from fish'n lines from my son's ceiling in a wheels up/bombay door open configuration. I also have the bomb 'dropping' basically dangling from fishing lines from all the bombers.
