I spent most of this afternoon chopping down a very reluctant tree in the garden, as we're having a new patio built and it was in the way. This meant I was away from the workbench until the early evening, when I managed to clean up and assemble five more B29's, to bring the total to eight. I have a few more to add to the collection but I think I have enough to be going on with.
This means that I'll have two flights of bombers for the Bagging the B29 scenario in the TFL 2006 Xmas Special, as well as for other games in a similar vein. I still need to add the magnets but that'll be fairly straightforward. I'm planning to clean up and attach magnets to the six Il-10m's and, possibly, the Meteors tomorrow.
By Any Means Necessary: America's Secret Air War contains a wonderful chapter about an RB-50 (recee version of the upgraded B29) being hunted by Chinese MiG's during or just after the Korean War. Always wanted to develop a game around it, great reading...
ReplyDeleteJim, very much looking forward to seeing where you get to with Bag the B-29!
