F-13 Superfortress references


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I''d like to build an F-13 Superfortress (recon version of the B-29), specifically "Double Exposure.' I'm hoping to find a reference (website or book) that shows the exact size, shape, dimensions, and locations of the camera windows. I have Squadron's B-29 In Action book and John Campbells' B-29 Superfortress (Schiffer Military), but could only find a few pics of the cameras taken from oblique angles. A web search was less productive. 

 

Before I buy another book, can anyone point me to a reference that shows these camera features? I understand that camera installations probably varied between planes according to the mission but I'd like to try to base my model on something close to the real thing rather than my guesswork. Thanks!

I'm a little surprised no one noticed the angle of the rails before.

What does THAT have to do with the camera windows on an F-13 Superfortress? :hmmm:
