IainMackayDall Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 There's no, if not many, 1/32 production models of a B-29. Has anyone got and links to built models. This URL is a great tour of through the fuselage. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=Qa3Lu8iPfHW&fbclid=IwAR3bPGgdDVW-Pu0Nx1PvVN-VwXgkTfQofqcNpUab_pSKUJrji-1nhTs__iU 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 heh.... thanks for sharing! That would have been useful on the B-29 that I almost completed in 1/48 a few years back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 For a built model, Tom Probert built a 1/32 ID vac. Probably visible here or on LSP. As for the build and the end result, this is a perfect illustration of the famous sow’s ear and silk purse story Hubert 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a build thread on LSP and Britmodeller somewhere (wasn’t a member we here back then) but I’m not sure if the photos survived the photobucket debacle.

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 8, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 8, 2020 Tom, did you do a Superfortress or a Washington when you built it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMackayDall Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Interesting rippling along the fuselage, I haven't seen many like this one, maybe most WW2 images had almost factory fresh deliveries although its noted that this B-29 has been damaged https://www.worldwarphotos.info/gallery/usa/aircrafts-2-3/b-29/boeing-b-29-superfortress-damaged-tinian/ Edited January 7, 2021 by IainMackayDall added detail on source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH... Can;t say I've ever noticed any tin-canning on an in-service B-29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMackayDall Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Could that have been a result of a heavy landing buckling the fuselage? I doubt that AA could do that without pepering the hull with holes, regards Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Looks as if there is no tail on that plane. Rippling like that may be from ground explosions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
