1to1scale Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 So I was thinking, with all the WW2 bombers being put out by companies lately, which represent most of the major ones, it seems like there is on smoking hole left in the lineup...the B-29. Am I the only one who thinks it’s time for this bird to be tooled in 1/32? What is the likelihood of HK or Hobby Boss pumping one out? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Since it would come most likely from China, what if they used for research Chinese Tu-4....... with AWACS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Jeroen said we should sniff some glue and be jolly. I sniff glue and have technicolor dreams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Somebody else told Ernie and I he was gonna do a B-29 Highly unlikely though as he said he dreamed of a B-36 in 1/32 as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2018 I’m a contrarian. B-32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Tupolev stated that B-29 design was carrying major flaws and proposed his own project, however Stalin was pushing for the exact copy that bombed Japan. Long story short, Tu-95 is still operational. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2018 Tu-95 is so cool. Did they ever say what caused the Tu-95 night takeoff crash at Engels AFB a few years back? I think I saw a video on YouTube and it looked brutal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After wall came down he had lots of spare time so he snuck into the archives and took pictures with his Secret Agent camera in his ballpoint pen. Now let’s get back to Non Fiction. On the other site he was fondly known (by me) and revered as a quasi semi sorta official historian and researcher. He has pictures of everything. Probably historical pictures of Moses and Moby Dick, too. My friend Martin has saved my bacon on countless builds by being able to read my mind and publish pictures of detail areas right before I ruin the area with incorrect details. It’s spooky, actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was yet no need or call for a long range b-29 based airliner in the Soviet Onion. Yes? Interesting comparison when you look at Tupolev 75 and Boeing 377 Stratocruiser.

That video still gives me the heebie jeebies while watching it. It looks like an uncontained engine failure, but the engines are quite forward set on the wings so the fuel tanks should be well out of harm’s way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, actually, I did notice on the other site, that he was prolific with the underground style photos, and thought ah ha....Double Agent...... then I thought, naw, more like " ah, the old camera in the tie clip trick , eh?" ( we all know who that was, right?), then I went right back to the double agent thing..... WITH, the camera in the tie clip ! All Bovine Excrement aside, he is most definitely a wealth of some VERY cool and unusual pics, and also has them at the drop of a Ushanka....... A good Tovarich ...................... Da??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
