B29 Superfortress

A bit of a crazy project going on nicely...
Fuselage is 3.2m long, no ideas of the final AUW etc etc, plan is to scratch my head a bit more on that one when the Grunau is finished!

Bell X1 on the way, as soon as I put my hand on a decent 3 views.

Hi Dave,

I am using Turbocad (was the easiest one to use at the time. And licence was cheap also :) )

Should be an easy one to build. Wanted to do one for years! Also planned to be able to fit engines. That one is going to be big! :)

Hi Andy, welcome to the forum!! :) Very good to have you here.

The B29 is still at the plan's stages. Maybe this winter, looking at options for Macon next year, so I might push it for the year after... I don't really know I have to say!
