I want to get this kit and do a variant sort of showing the flying B-29 from the movie "Last Flight of the Noah's Ark". So no gun turrets, but I will try use vacuum shaped clear parts which I hope will look nice. Some photo etch as well, though I don't know well the engines will look with this Eduard PE set I have seen on sale.

It could be a real project making the raft with a B-29 kit in 1:48 scale, from the before mentioned movie. With wings clipped off (iirc) such a model in 1:48 might then fit on the shelf still, hm but maybe very tall with the mast and all (iirc).
