Junkers Ju290A-5/7 1/72

Revell – There has been a big problem for collectors of historic military aircraft in recent years: anyone who wanted to build a high-quality Junkers Ju 290 often had to pay horrendous prices on the secondary market or spend a long time searching. This impressive model has not been available since 2009. With this reissue (reintro) we are closing this gap. You finally get access to the only common kit of this type on the market again. It’s the opportunity to add a true four-engine heavyweight to your fleet without having to compromise on availability.

Why this kit is a highlight
Exclusive return: This is the only relevant model of the Ju 290 on the market – a real rarity is back.
Gigantic dimensions: With a wingspan of almost 58 cm and a length of almost 40 cm, this 1:72 scale model goes beyond almost any frame.
Attention to detail: The interior is extensively designed, which is particularly noticeable when the hatches are open.
Variable armament: The gun turrets can optionally be displayed open or closed, depending on your diorama wishes.
Sophisticated construction: With 262 parts and level 5, this kit is a project that challenges and encourages all your craftsmanship.
Historical variance: The kit allows the representation of the A-5 or A-7 versions (“Sea Eagle”).
The Junkers Ju 290 is not just another aircraft; it is a piece of technological history from the Battle of the Atlantic. When you open the box, you will immediately respect the size of the components. Building this model is a journey: from the detailed cockpit to the massive fuselage to the four engine nacelles.

The flexibility in presentation is particularly attractive. You can stage the aircraft in its role as a heavy transport or as a menacing maritime patrol aircraft. The surface structures are finely engraved and invite you to work with washing techniques and signs of aging in order to realistically represent the rough use over the sea. It is a model that, when finished, dominates with its sheer power and unusual silhouette.
