 Academy 1/72 Boeing B-29 Superfortress "Bocks Car"
The B-29 Superfortress given the aircraft name "Bocks Car" has a place in history because it dropped the second Atomic Bomb on Nagasaki, August 9, 1945 that ultimately helped force Japan to the negotiation table about unconditional surrender.
There's some debate to this bombing raid in whether the Bocks Car was one of the 804 that participated as evidence has turned up to support both sides of the argument.
One thing is for sure, the name Bocks Car is named after it's Commander, Captain Fredrick C Bock, who incidentally did not command the bombing of Nagasaki, this flight was commanded by Major Sweeney (there was a swap of B-29 planes before the bombing mission).
