Not nearly big enough.

That cockpit is actually CASA 2.111 cockpit which was a Spanish license built version of the He-111. He-111 had its primary instruments in the overhead panel.

Here's somewhat authentic He-111 cockpit:

Come on guys.  Take another look.  Its Warehouse 13. 
Title: Re: What this really is.......
Post by: Karnak on July 28, 2010, 11:09:16 PM
It wouldn't let me take a B-24 out of the hangar, though it would let me take the slightly less wing spanned Lancaster.  It isn't big enough for the B-29, but then again, like with the B-24, you don't have to be able to take it out of the hanger.

So, the real question is, are the runways longer?

The Ki-45 had the armaments to take down the B-29, however, it was not successful at high alts above 25 k.

Both the Germans and the Japanese had developed high altitude fighters to combat the B29 and i do believe that they both are in the game right now :)

Didn't the Japanese upgrade the KI-84 to deal with bombers? KI-84lb and another one too, can't remember the the other KI-84 model,but even bigger guns than the lb.

Japan developed two jet planes to go up against the B29, if I remember correctly but itwas already too late. ied forces had one advantage over axis.  Axis lost planes/gvs forever, allies would replaces loses at 4 or 5 times.

Nakajima Kikka (translation: "Orange Blossom"), just like the Me-262 but all designed by Japan.  only two where developed.
Mitsubishi J8M1 Shusui, basically a Me-163 that Germany gave them.   Only seven developed.
The MXY7 Ohka.  The fly bomb and the only jet plane that saw service.
