Looks like an early or prototype B-29.

Wow almost 5 hours, :D

Correct Wmaker :).

2 * 20mm In the Dorsal, Ventral & Tail Turrets, 13.2 mm in Nose & Waist positions.

Would make a really good addition to the planeset.

(That is, if it had reached production). Unfortunately it did not and only 4 prototypes were built before WWII ended.

If I remember correctly Snafu, that plane was a total failure, and had numerous technical problems.  The Japanese just didnt' have much experience in designing or building 4 engine bombers.

not land based ones anyway...i'd bet if they had just converted Emily to a land based long range bomber (saving a lot of weight on the hull & reducing drag by eliminating the floats), they'd have had a real oscar kicker
