This is my recently
finished 1/72 KB-29P done in Bare Metal Foil, Squadron vac canopy and
Expert Choice decals. Assembly of the kit was not difficult. Everything
fit ok except for the canopy, which was mis-molded. The best part of the build was attaching the wings.
They fit
PERFECTLY. I did not assemble the rear gunners compartment or bombay to
save on weight.

I used Bare
Metal Foil to finish the kit. This was time consuming, but I think it was
worth it. Markings for a KB-29P are hard to find, but I did find a sheet
from Expert Choice. (72-12) The markings are for a KB-29P
of the 97th ARS, 97th BW in 1952. The decals gave me a little trouble
snuggling down (Thick ink). After the decals were on, I gave the model a
coat of Future to seal everything.
I liked building
this kit so much that I went out and bought another one.
The assembly is not
difficult, and is straightforward. Probably the hardest part was finding decals
for it. A very enjoyable kit to build.
