Going to have to watch all of these projects. This is going to be a dream to do. I have a few of the birds you are doing and will be watching closely.

Well, the main idea was to build as many of the 366th FG / FBW / TFW / WG / FW aircraft [Dutch as I could find decals and kits for. I just recently determined that the 420th ARS was assigned to the 366th from '54 with KB-29Ps at Alexandria AFB, while also receiving KB-50s (apparently operating both types together) before transferring to Europe with the Wing in '55. While the fighters went to France, the tankers went to RAF Sculthorpe. Apparently, the wing returned to the states and the tankers stayed, but attached to a local unit. So I had thought to do the KB-50, but I would need the old DB or FP KB-50 conversion as well as the Academy kit, and it ain't easy to find either. Plus the B-50 is such a close relation to the B-29, I'll leave it go there. Thanks for the encouragement.
