Explore the rich legacy of aviation history through the meticulously detailed Postage Stamp B-29 1/200 "Hawg Wild" model. Crafted with precision from die-cast metal, this replica celebrates the iconic B-29 Superfortress, a pinnacle of World War II aviation engineering. With dimensions of approximately 6 inches in length and an 8 1/8 inch wingspan, this model faithfully captures the essence of the legendary bomber.

The B-29 Superfortress earned its acclaim for pioneering features such as remote-controlled machine gun turrets and a pressurized cabin enabling high-altitude flight. Notably, its pivotal role in delivering the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki reshaped history.

Distinguished as a member of the B-29 fleet, "Hawg Wild" served gallantly with the 371st Bombardment Squadron at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa in 1952. Completing a remarkable 105 missions over North Korea prior to the Korean armistice agreement in 1953, its legacy endures. Restored to its wartime livery, "Hawg Wild" stands proudly exhibited at the American Air Museum in Duxford, England.

A must-have for collectors and enthusiasts, this model offers a poignant tribute to the courage and prowess of those who piloted these formidable aircraft. Suitable for adult collectors aged 14 and above, the Postage Stamp B-29 1/200 "Hawg Wild" model encapsulates the ingenuity and valor of the World War II era for generations to come.
