It's too bad the guy who used to cast fitted weights for this kit is no longer around. Getting this thing to nose takes A LOT OF WEIGHT in the forward bomb bay. I strongly suggest you invest in metal gear legs (speaking from experience).

Also, the B-29 has A LOT of different metallic shades on the exterior. A base coat with rattlecan is probably a good idea, then a lot of masking off and doing different areas.

Wow, what a great project, Kyle (@kopperhed). Multiengine bombers tend to be complex anyway, but the size of this one just adds to the problems. I suspect the biggest problem will occur once you assemble the fuselage and wings, when you try to find some place where you can work and paint. I really like using Vallejo spray paint. I applies very smooth and thin, and seems a lot more controllable than some of the others. Looking forward to the rest of your build.
