Saw an ad on Squadron for the Revell 1/48 B-29, but what caught my eye was the MSRP of around $70. Is this the same old mold dressed up again, or a new tool? Hobby Lobby has carried one of the older versions for months now at half that price. What gives here?

Scalemates has it as a rebox with new decals under Monogram. No mention of pe as in a Pro-Modeler version.
WIP: Monogram 1/72 B-26 (Snaptite) as 73rd BS B-26, 40-1408, torpedo bomber attempt on Ryujo
Monogram 1/72 B-26 (Snaptite) as 22nd BG B-26, 7-Mile Drome, New Guinea
Minicraft 1/72 B-24D as LB-30, AL-613, "Tough Boy", 28th Composite Group
Check Revell's website. I am pretty sure that it is a rebox of the last iteration of the kit that included the un cuffed props as well as all the original parts.

It is the Monogram 1/48 scale kit repackaged. It's still worth the money they're asking. Imagine how much Tamiya or Trumpeter would ask for if they issued a new one!
Paul is right, it is a repackage. Revell is offering this as the Enola Gay. It has plugs for the upper and lower gun turrets to represent the Silverplate version of the B-29's. Comes with both types of Atomic bombs and regular style bombs. it also has the two types of props and the gun turrets if you want to build a regular 29.

A new mold B-29 would have been industry big news. $70?....ouch......insane for a couple extras and new decals. Your better off finding an original 70's release off ebay that also has the Enola option.....and the when the molds were still new.
