This is the first
time for me to have one of my models featured on ARC. This 1/144 B-29 Enola Gay is from Minicraft
Model Kits. I assembled it out of box.
The first job I
did was to re-scribe the panel lines; I used references for the panel line work from Famous Airplanes of
The World No.52. It is the first time I fully re-scribe the panel lines &
know not well. Hope the second one--- Bocks Car will improve.

As you can see---the
B-29 is ‘Flying’. With information I learned from an article in FineScale Modeler, I tried adding
mini motor into a 1/72 FW-190, 1/72 Me-110, 1/144 Me-109F. So this time I
tried a
four engined bomber in small scale. Here is:
This kit comes
simple & has a lot of mistakes: missed exhaust pipes on both sides of four
engines; missed radar dome under fuselage.
Fit was no problem. Compared with Fujimi’s
B-29, this kit has less details, but it's cheaper than Fujimi’s. The
decals that came with the kit are very nice. I like one
sentence used on the Enola Gay: NO SMOKING WITHIN 100 FT.
Now that I've
assembled a 1/72 B-29 Enola Gay…can you hear sound from four engines?
