this?
Only problem with this photo is it is yet to be deployed to a squadron. It makes for great reference material though for any one who wants to do a OD skin though.

I think there were only like two dozen that made it to the field in Olive Drab. There are a few photos of them in India.

Ahh, I knew it was somewhere around there. We need at least one OD skin. I've read four B-29 books and the latest LeMay biography in the hospital this week. They are all starting to run together!  :huh

I'll skin your great uncle's B-29 VonKost, nice work on researching it. It will probably be a few weeks until I have time to do it though. Would you prefer it in CBI or Tinian tail markings?

The olive drab is awesome.  Also FU-KEMAL must be done lol.

Olive drab on the B-29 looks....i don't know.  It just dose not look good on them to me.  Just my opinion.
