1970's Plastic B-29 Bomber Toy

I am in search of a particular toy bomber that was sold in Woolworth stores in the mid 1970's. It had a wingspan of about 8-10" and often came in various colors. I had an Orange one. They were well detailed for a toy, with seperate plastic props. The also had extended landing gear with seperate wheels that snapped in place.

I have searched around, checking Marx, Processed Plastic Toy Co, Timee toys and others with no luck.

Does anyone here recognize the plane I am talking about? If so, help me out! Thanks!

Tom

Ah, an excellent lead. Thanks! I did a quick search and they seemed to have made quality plastic toys. I will research them further. Thank you!

I did an eBay search. Eldon didn't seem big on planes, but I love their fire truck and I did have their ferry when I was a kid. Nice try, Kinzel. I appreciate the input.

The search goes on....

Have you tried searching through Woolworth catalog scans? Maybe you might get lucky and see a page with it on there if you can narrow it down to a few years.
