Academy 1/72 B-29A Old Battler: Heritage Bomber Model

The Academy 1/72 B-29A Old Battler brings the B-29A to life at a manageable scale, appealing to modellers who value historical accuracy and neat presentation. The kit reproduces the bomber's characteristic lines and surface detail suitable for careful modelling work.

B-29 Service and Historical Context
