1 KIT Superfortress The -29 "Superfortress" that first took flight on September 21, 1942, was the culmination of a war department request issued to aircraft manufacturers in January Production of the -29 would become the single largest aircraft program of the war, and when production ceased nearly 4000 aircraft had been delivered to the USF. With its wingspan over 141 feet, its length of 99 feet and its four 2,200 horsepower engines, this "Superbomber" designed by the oeing aircraft company would be in service with 61 (VH) Very Heavy ombardment squadrons when the war ended. The island hopping campaign developed by the war department was designated to liberate strategically located islands from the Japanese. These islands would become home to the airfields of the vast airborne armada of -29 "Superfortresses". lthough initially deployed to remote airfields in hina and India. The liberation of the Marianas Islands during the summer of 1944 signaled the beginning of the massive "Superfortress" build-up. Operating from hastily constructed airfields on the islands of Guam, Saipan and Tinian, waves of heavily laden -29s initiated the strategic bombing campaign that would cripple the Japanese war effort. On the morning of ugust 6, 1945 a single specially modified -29 dropped the world s first nuclear weapon on the city of Hiroshima. Followed by the dropping of another such weapon on the city of Nagasaki, three days later. Following the Japanese surrender, -29s were retained as the United States premier strategic bomber. In the summer of 1950, the "Superfortress" returned to combat in the skies over Korea. The first unit to see combat was brought up from Guam to be stationed at Kadena on the Island of Okinawa. Other -29 units were deployed to Yokota in Japan. From these bases, the bombers could easily range to any Korean target. The -29 was in combat shortly after the Korean War started through to the last day of the conflict. The "Superfortress" was fitted with two pressurized crew compartments that were designed to improve aircrew comfort on the fatiguing long-range missions. Nearly twenty thousand pounds of ordnance could be carried in the two huge bomb bays; four powerful Wright "yclone" engines equipped with dual exhaust driven superchargers, were nestled in streamlined nacelles. The "Superforts" were heavily armed with ten machine guns mounted in four remote controlled turrets and two additional machine guns and a twenty-millimeter cannon (deleted on later aircraft) were fitted in the tail of each -29. * REPET SEVERL TIMES * REPETER PLUSIEURS FOIS * OPTIONL PRTS * PIEES EN OPTION * DEL * DEL OMNIE * LTERNTIVE SSEMLY * ENSEMLGE LTERNTIVE * EMENT TOGETHER * OLLER * REMOVE ND THROW WY * RETIRER ET JETER * DO NOT EMENT * NE PS OLLER RED THIS EFORE YOU EGIN * Study the assembly drawings. * Each plastic part is identified by a number. * In the assembly drawings, some parts will be marked by a star ( ) to indicate chrome plated plastic. * For better paint and decal adhesion, wash the plastic parts in a mild detergent solution.
