B-29 Superfortress

2,357 STT1  6.5 years ago

Here it is, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, finally finished. The cockpit was probably the hardest part. Overall it's not the best, but it still looks alright and flies decently. The tail gear is more there for stability than anything else, the bottom-rear turret would scrape the ground on takeoff without it. I'm pretty sure it's not very accurate to the real thing, but it's needed if you don't want to scrape up your tail. AG 1 and VTOL down to open the bomb-bay doors. AG 2-6 activate the turrets, be carful with them (they can easily shoot your own plane). Each camera goes with a turret. It carries 16 Boom 25s and 4 Boom 50s.

    @Blue0Bull i know that the engine failures are more or less brought on by the fact that the engines were developed for use in war and were for this reason not perfectet. but after the war the planes start to transport a cargo far more destructible than bombs: tourists. and what want a tourist? think for your self. oh and by the way the boeing b 747 is the deadliest bomber becauses of tourism is a joke about idiots that can be made with every passenger plane.

    @Irobert55 in what way? it seems to be one of their best (at least for when it was created) do to it having multiple parts that were more or less revolutionary for aircraft of the time, some of those things being that it was the first plane with a pressurized cabin as well as being one of the first to use some form of a computer/remote-control system for its turrets. Yes it had problems, but when working with all that technology that was new at the time you can't really blame it for those problems. However, I respect your opinion that it was an unsuccessful and/or poorly made aircraft and hope not to start an argument.
