Chipping? The B29 came in bare aluminium only, no paint to chip. Stains maybe, but they were expensive birds so they'd be cleaned post ops. IIRC they cost the same as a navy cruiser.

@@davidharris733 The B-29 was around $605,000 per copy in 1944, the Cleveland class cruisers, commissioned in 1942, were $31 million. Amazing aircraft, it was the first to have "flexing" wings, meaning the wing would flex as it developed lift and transitioned to flight.

@@davidharris733 playing with costs is a fun game, many documentaries like to get the absolutes thrown around to make a bang. No pun intended. I saw The World at War, was pretty good as documentaries go. The B-29 was developed to deliver the nukes from Manhattan Project. The total program cost was $3 billion (1945) which was the most expensive program of the war. The Manhattan Project, which developed Fat Man and Little Boy was only $2 billion.

Brings back memories. I flew on the KB-50s, a B-29 fitted with refueling drogues and a J-47 jet engine on each wing. A Frankenstein B-29. Unreliable piece of junk. Sometimes landed with the propeller hanging loose. R-4360 engines were a mess to repair. 56 sparkplugs per engine. Caught 13 on fire just ground testing. The ground crew called me "Sparky". Retired the aircraft the year I was discharged. Great job in making this model - all your models. You are an accomplished artist.
