Revell/Monogram 1/48 B-29
Posted by leardoc on Thursday, December 13, 2012 1:06 PM

I had inadvertently posted this in the paint forum so I'm re-posting here.

Does anyone have any idea when the Monogram/Revell 1/48 scale B-29 was first released? All I can find is "sometime" in the 70's. I know the first release is fairly old but I was hoping that it might qualify for the 2013 IPMS Nationals Special Catagory "Kits Of The 60's"  Based on the quality of the kit it appears to be from the 60's Ha-Ha!     Thanks   leardoc

from a kit review on www.modelingmadness.com/.../kol29.htm, it looks like 1977.

"... Audacious is the word that comes to mind when you think about Monogram’s decision in 1977 to create a kit of such a large subject ..."
