Daron Worldwide Trading B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay Vehicle (1:200 Scale), White

Awesome

Far too expensive for the size. Although great quality

Perfectly detailed. Great for the collection.

Good overall quality.

I love the detail, I've been buying Daron Postage Stamp diecast models for years, and the quality has been superb over the years.

I was very Impressed with the detailing. But only one slight problem, one of the engines was not glued well. So upon retracting from the plastic packaging, it stayed in the packaging. So, it was a minor and very easy fix....I super glued it back on. Other than this, I'm pleased with the product.

Very nice

So here we have a B-25-J-1-NC Mitchell bomber that was to be assigned to the 499th Bomb Squadron 'Bats Outta Hell' 345th Bomb Group 'Air Apaches'. The other squadrons included in the 345th Bomb Group being the 498th 'Falcons' 500th 'Rough Raiders' and the 501st 'Black Panthers'. The 499th were originally flown from the United States to Townsville,Queensland,Australia to be fitted out before being flown to New Guinea to begin operational service. They would go on to serve missions against the Japanese Imperial Army in the Bismarck Archipelago, Northern Solomons,the Philippines,Luzon and the Western Pacific. They also served in the China Defensive and the Air Offensive against Japan. Typical missions included strafing Japanese ground forces and supplies along with anti-shipping assignments. So on to the replica. Its a nice size. Bigger in than the Daron B-17 909. Though i guess that stands to reason with the B-17 being a massive heavy bomber and the B-25 being a Medium bomber. My disappointment for want of a better word, lies in the nose armament on this replica. It should contain 8 0.50 (12.7mm) AN/M2 Browning machine guns. Instead it looks like its been fitted out with 1 75mm M4 cannon. Which were fitted to the G or H model B-25's. Its also missing the side package machine guns just aft of the cockpit and co-pilot positions. Though i guess that can be over looked as the first 555 J models were not fitted with side pack machine guns due to the huge stress placed on the fuselage from muzzle blast. I've looked the restored and flying B-25 'Bettys Dream' and it seems to not have the side pack armament either...so okay. Otherwise,all seems to be in order. If purchasing this replica,do yourself a favour and grab either a square or circular 4inch wooden base off Amazon and with the supplied stand locked in place,sit it on that. It really makes the replica pop. I spray paint the wooden bases black. A great little replica. Grab one while you still can. Highly recommended.
