The models inner side were already painted when I got the kit second hand. I just started to add some frames.

After the installation of all equiupment, not much of the added frames can be seen. Conclusion: waste of time. Some of the steel pins can be seen on the lower side to make the aircraft a nose-sitter 🙂

I think nobody ever said that the Revell B-29 is big so I do it: It's very big! And due to the weight in the nose, it's also very heavy.

Installing the Metallic Details parts, new firewall in place. The 3D-Resin is nicely done. However, the fit on the kit is problematic as the kits engine nacelles are not equally shaped.

The only modifications I did to get a reconnaissance version were the camera openings.

Closing the cabin, the fit is nearly good. I put all the neccessary weight in the nose, the manual suggest to put weight in each engine nacelle...

Excellent start, looks very promising. Kee( n ) eye on details, kee( p ) on going, amidst the noise and haste.

schaut schon super aus... nur schade, dass man davon nachher nix mehr sieht 🙁 .... das ist auch der Grund, dass meine B-29 nun schon seit Jahren in ähnlichem Zustand in meiner Vitrine liegt... und habe auch vor die KeeBird zu bauen.. Gruss Thomas

Got a B-29 kit second hand and try to do the best out of it. I like to do the colorful Kee Bird, as the whole aircrafts story catched me even if its not my usual interest.
