The B-29 was one of my favorites as a kid too...until I saw Strategic Air Command and the HUMONGOUS B-36. It was so powerful, so absurd that I fell in love with it immediately. To this day it might be my favorite bomber of all time, though the B-29 and B-17 come very close.

In my experience as an aircraft mechanic, these areas wear from fretting and frequent removal. I love your channel! Thanks!

@davidharris733 2 года назад

Chipping? The B29 came in bare aluminium only, no paint to chip. Stains maybe, but they were expensive birds so they'd be cleaned post ops. IIRC they cost the same as a navy cruiser.

@trafficsignalman 2 года назад

@@davidharris733 The B-29 was around $605,000 per copy in 1944, the Cleveland class cruisers, commissioned in 1942, were $31 million. Amazing aircraft, it was the first to have "flexing" wings, meaning the wing would flex as it developed lift and transitioned to flight.

@davidharris733 2 года назад

@@trafficsignalman I heard that comparison in a documentary programme. It may have been "The World at War". I didn't bother checking the authenticity, or exactly what class of cruiser was being compared.

@@davidharris733 playing with costs is a fun game, many documentaries like to get the absolutes thrown around to make a bang. No pun intended. I saw The World at War, was pretty good as documentaries go. The B-29 was developed to deliver the nukes from Manhattan Project. The total program cost was $3 billion (1945) which was the most expensive program of the war. The Manhattan Project, which developed Fat Man and Little Boy was only $2 billion.

Brings back memories. I flew on the KB-50s, a B-29 fitted with refueling drogues and a J-47 jet engine on each wing. A Frankenstein B-29. Unreliable piece of junk. Sometimes landed with the propeller hanging loose. R-4360 engines were a mess to repair. 56 sparkplugs per engine. Caught 13 on fire just ground testing. The ground crew called me "Sparky". Retired the aircraft the year I was discharged. Great job in making this model - all your models. You are an accomplished artist.
