Jack,

That is the first color image I've ever seen of the real plane. That spinner will be going back to the paint shop. At least it looks like we got the rest of it pretty accurate though. Now if I could just find a complete side view of the plane.

Thank you for finding that.

James

That website is a great resource. I have been using it for a while in regards to B-29's on Guam. A great tool and very easy to search! Plus it allows you to add to the description of the photos/videos so the data just keeps growing!!!

Very nice but have a second look at the proportions of the star and bar. Something not quite right about the bars.

The bar need to extend inwards to meet the points of the star.
