well it just unglued looks like nothing is cracked
Nick.
B-29's are prone to crash. The good news is that, from the photo, nothing is broken; just a little out of place. Looks like an easy fix! Or, just a little bump in the road/sky.

Yep. The bottom seam did not open up. So, top seam opened, main canopy came loose, nose piece came off. Missing the doober-hickey (they called it a gun sight) that was inside the nose piece. When I can get to the crash site, I'll look in the crater. Going to be a slow couple of weeks, though. We are keeping our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter while out daughter is in China to adopt a second child. Oh my aching bones.
Gotta love duct tape! I think that should do it. Now on to decals.

See Geezer, it looks good as new plus a little "ouch"!
OUCH, that accident sucked but looks like you have the matter in hand now.

Geezer ...even for some of Revell's standards...Still not sure if it is the canopy or the fuselage that is whacked...

As a made member of the Monogram Mafia, this pains me to say it, but it's not Revell's fault, it's Monogram's. Monogram produced this kit before the merger. And this particular fit issue has always been with it, judging from my own experience building it back in junior high (circa 1978), and from the memories of other guys of my vintage, and comments from others who've built it more recently. The canopy has a slightly wider curve to it, along the entire surface, than the fuselage, and you'll get a step somewhere along the seam between the canopy and fuselage. Still, you've got it well in hand!

Well Geezer, did you not have enough chickens to appease the modeling gods or were they not of superior quality?
Jumping in here late, but finally got caught up. A lot of work going on and it all looks great.
