OK, FeldMarSchall Model’s recent post on his B-29 has got me thinking about building mine, however, I want to build a contest-quality model, and I don’t think I can do so with an NMF. So my question is, where can I find pictures of B-29s in the OD/NG scheme (as well as decals for them). I’ve done a little looking, but so far all I’ve come up with is 2 or 3 pictures. One of them is a maybe, but I’d like some more choices. I’m also looking for some pictures of the interior, especially the rear fuselage.
OD upper gray lower. Clicky. Same scheme as B-17s.
Google YB-29.
A good book is B-29 Superfortress at War by David A. Anderton
ISBN 0-684-15884-1
Cannot remember where I got this one, but from what I remember it flew fuel over the hump in the CBI theater of WWII.
The December 2004 issue of FSM has a spread of a camo B-29 in the Portfolio section
I can suggest the WARBIRD TECH SERIES, VOLUME 14, BOEING B-29 SUPERFORTRESS by Peter M. Bowers. It has 11 different pictures of OD/NG finished B-29s. All but one or twoo provide the erial number in the description or are legible in the photos.
