Plan to take the Academy Kit "Enola Gay" B-29 and convert it into a B-50A. Interesting thing about this kit is it shares all the parts with the older Academy B-50D kit, only thing being missing is Sprue H and G to be a B-50. Another interesting fact this kit also has access to the later B-50D front nose glazing. I hope to build "Lucky Lady II" the very first aircraft to fly around the world non-stop using aerial refueling. Proving the might of the United States Air Force to defeat their enemies anywhere on the globe.
