Description
A professional desktop display model of a Boeing B-29 Superfortress four-engine heavy bomber. The model features a silver metallic finish with black-inked panel lines and is mounted on a curved black pedestal-style display stand. The fuselage is marked with United States Air Force in black block lettering along the midsection and includes standard star-and-bar roundels. The right wing bears the USAF identifier in black block lettering. The vertical stabilizer is marked with a black X inside a circle, an insignia associated with the 315th Bombardment Wing, and the numbers 461 | 815, with a green-painted tip. Each of the four radial engine cowlings features a green trim ring, housing black four-bladed propellers with yellow tips. The model includes small-scale details such as top-mounted antennas and under-fuselage protrusions. No manufacturer’s mark is visible on the model or the stand.
