I am attempting to convert Revell's 1:48 B-29 Super Fortress Kit 5711 to the Silverplate Enola Gay. My vision is for an inflight model just after releasing the Little Boy bomb over Hiroshima. The rear bomb bay will be closed and not be detailed; the rear compression chamber will be left empty because it will be totally closed up and would be a difficult and iffy conversion. There will be an eight man crew on the flight deck and a tail gunner. The three remaining crew members would be in the aft chamber which is not represented. I hope to share my progress with you. I am currently several months into the project. I do not know how this will turn out, but I am having fun! Question and/or feed back is welcome.
