NewRayClassic Bomber EZ-Build Model Kit: B-29 Superfortress

My 17 year old son disabled and is a huge history buff! He doesn’t have the ability to put together anything with too many pieces. This was perfect for him! I will be buying more models like this! It is best for those that are younger as it is very simple to put together. I had read that some people had trouble with the landing gear, that was not our experience. Nice model kit !

These are great models for your kids to start learning about real war planes. Helps them understand history and events. Very neat . And great value.

Fix the landing gear

I was struggling to put the gear on and then into 5 minutes of having the PACKAGE I put the left gear on and then another 3 minutes go by and then I broke the right gear. It’s alright but the gear is super hard to put on

I bought this for my 11-year-old, who is just starting to get interested in models. It was straightforward to put together. Due to their size, you need to be a little careful when attaching the pieces, like the wheels and tail wing pieces. You may need to glue some of the connections if you plan to play with the model; if it is going to be on the stand, then it won't be necessary.

I've already been through catastrophes with the New Ray DC3 but, idiot that I am, imagined this would be different. The definition of madness. It is worse. The problem with the DC3 was fitting in the landing-gear. The gear on the B29 are just as problematic. No way of getting it in without breaking them, or drilling a bigger hole. Then there's the small matter of wings and tail-wings not staying in place. This is an easy assemble in the sense that it is easy to assemble and then watch it fall apart the moment one lets go. If you don't want it to fall apart, get your glue and your drill. Frankly I'm a little surprised it is still for sale. I can't really see a point to it. Surely 2020 has been annoying enough without adding to our misery by peddling total crap.

The little guy loves it

My 10 year old son loved this model. It is good quality and easy to build. Great for display on a shelf in his bedroom.
