My first knowledge of this B-29 Supa-Fort model was via an enquiry from Anthony in the Diecast Aircraft Forum. I had been searching for more details on my Pope Product Buick diecast car when I came across this information.
A picture thanks to the HobbyTalk Forum and Tone for the photo.
Further, there also mention of the model in a Nobles auction lot back in 2007 which apparently included the Micro Models Vickers Viscount that has eluded my collection for a number of years. If I read this auction lot correctly there were 2 of each of the planes.
Updated: July 2015: I was contacted by Tony Loursensen from Queensland and quickly acquired his Pope Supa-Fort model and gladly added it to my collection of Australian Made models.
The photos below are of the Pope Product B-29 Supa-Fort aircraft diecast model.
One of a few toys manufactured by Pope Products around the 1950's.
The close up of the propellors shows the similarities with the Dinky aircraft of the same era.
The fuselage underneath is recessed and makes the model relatively light, but also means it is a one-piece casting. The recessed section shows "Made in Australia" and "A Pope Product" embossed on it.
The underneath of the wings show the "Supa-Fort" embossed on both sides.
