B-29 Turretless

The kit converts the Monogram/Revell B-29 into the turretless version, i.e. the Silver Plate, late war B-29s, nuclear bombers like the Enola Gay, the X-plane carriers, KB-29s, etc.  This is much needed, as the turret and sighting-bubble covers included in the Monogram kit are hideous, nothing like the real thing.  When it was available the Cutting Edge turretless B-29 conversion was OK, if you didn't mind spending hours and hours cutting and pasting in the 8 separate replacement fuselage sections, then hiding the joints.  The ATTIC kit gives you replacement fuselage nose and tail sections.  You just cut the fuselage at the fore and aft pressure bulkheads where the real aircraft fuselage had production breaks.  Estimated assembly time is 1/4 that for the Cutting Edge conversion.  The ATTIC kit also gives you two correct plates to fill the holes for the side sighting bubbles (not like the gross covers in the Monogram kit) for the late War Silver plate, nuclear bombers and others that did not have the bubbles.  But, if you want to make a WB-29, TB-29 or KB-29 which retained those bubbles, you easily can.
