Meet “FiFi”, one of only two airworthy examples of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. Serving mostly in the pacific theater of WWII, the B-29 was a major leap in bomber technology. Able to go farther, faster and higher than any bomber ever built to that point, and able to carry a whopping 20,000lbs of bombs, the B-29 became a major part of the bombing campaign against Japan. The B-29 was pressurized past 8,000 feet, making it comfortable for air crew and was significantly larger than other bombers of the era. The B-29 is most notable for its role in dropping the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and playing a huge role in ending the war

@Jfranz16 @FalHartIndustries if you look on my B-17, I had to do the same thing, but I tried to mask it as best I could. Just a weird game dynamic

@FalHartIndustries the diameter of the wheels are correct, but they’re too wide. When I tried to make the landing gear using struts and fuel tanks… weird things happened. I was stuck using the stock gear which won’t you adjust the width of the tires, unfortunately
