The B-29 Superfortress is a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber that was flown primarily by the United States toward the end of World War II and during the Korean War. It was one of the largest aircraft to have seen service during World War II and a very advanced bomber for its time, with features such as a pressurized cabin, an electronic fire-control system, and a quartet of remote-controlled machine-gun turrets operated by the fire-control system in addition to its defensive tail gun installation.
Group 1 and VTOL up to raise gear
Group 2 and VTOL for turrets
Group 3 and VTOL to open bomb bay
Group 4 to drop bombs
This model flies and handles well. The engines admittedly come from my B-24.
