QUOTE: Originally posted by knight667 Has anyone found/seen any pictures of a B-29 Superfort in olive drab? I thought I had one a long time ago, but can't find it. I'm considering building a second one (my first was done in NMF, and poorly at that I might add) and I thought it might be fun to do something different. Anyone, anyone?

Ding How, Old Battler, Monsoon Goon and Lady are three olive drab b-29s that make excellent modeling subjects. I am currently making Monsdoon Goon in 1/48 scale and the paint scheme is impressive. There were 100 OD b-29s in combat, according to my research, so why not get decals for 'em? For the past 10 years I've been trying to get decal companies to market a sheet of decals for 1/48 scale OD B-29s but no luck. So I'm doing it myself': handpainting the Monsoon Goon moniker and the hump missions onto my model. I'm using the Monsoon Goon profile on the back of Squadron Signal s B-29 on action bk 1. I enlarged the Billy Mitchell Group logo via computer and slapped it on both sides of my model. Then I had to fish for yellow serial numbers and mission markers from my box of old decal sheets. It's all been fun but an official decal sheet or two would be really nice.
I would really like to see some pics of these 1/48 B-29 's on here,any takers? I am also looking for the Eagles Talon X-1- B-29 1/48 conversion kit .I have a few pix of O/D B-29 's as well .
Thank you ,Krow113
DaveB.inVaShark, Ding Hao or Ding How is Chinese for Very Good or Excellent. At least thats what I've always read. I've also read it means Good Luck too but I did an internet search and it kept coming up as very good and excellent.
Actually, it's closer to "Work Together", according to Tex Hill... Depends on whether you're translating or transliterating...
Here's the most famous "Ding Hao" (IMHO). P-51B "Ding Hao", piloted by then LTC Jim Howard.
One of the few Mustangs that carried both German and Japanese kill marks.. Major Howard scored early on with the AVG and later against the Germans, and also received the Medal of Honor ending off about 30 Me-110s, amaning to shoot down at least three and damaging most of the others. The last kill was accomplished with only one gun still working...
When Monogram first released it's P-51B, back in the "Blue Box" days, "Ding Hao" was it's subject and the kit is still one of the great ones, when Monogram got serious about scale models having great details rather than the "working features" earlier 1/48th kits...
EDITED DUE TO STUCK "ENTER" KEY
Here's the ones I have.. This one is China-besed:

The first of many, the XB-29. Note the lack of turrets:
