Academy 1/72 B29 Super Fortress ''Celestial Queen''

Post by Ridgerunner »

Nice kit I'm trying to keep this build as simple as possible.
Going to add brass turned machine guns barrels throughout and steel tube for the 20mm cannon. Brass rod for the two aerials on top and for the pitot tubes. At last half decent decals for the B29 courtesy of Kits World.

Nice cockpit with decal instrument panels.
