[QUOTE="joncarrfarrelly, post: 64794"] The Air Force Museum website datasheet page on the XB-29 has three photos of the XB-29s: http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet_media.asp?fsID=2574 On one of the photos you can see that there is a plug or filler plate where the turret should be. http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/photos/060711-F-1234S-020.jpg I don't think you are going to find a drawing of the XB-29 that doesn't show turrets, the simplest thing to do would be to take a B-29 drawing and erase the turrets. [i]U.S. Bombers[/i] by Lloyd S. Jones has XB-39 drawings. Jones [i]U.S.Fighters[/i] and [i]U.S. Bombers[/i] are commonly available on the used book market (often available for as little as five dollars US). While neither is perfect or the be-all-end-all in terms of accuracy they are useful general references. Jon [/QUOTE]
