As for skins for the B29,it has been sadly neglected for a long time.Try here http://www.flightsimfiles.com/ maybe they have it,I doubt it though.

At the present moment I do not see many B-29 bomber skin available anywhere.
I have started working on a template for it a few month back, but then I got caught up in making skins
for the new Mod-planes coming out.
When I have some time I will create a few more B-29 skins for everyone.

I will try to fullfill your request Mr.Dietz.
Cheers

One of the first books I ever owned on WWII aircraft was the Squadron/Signal "In Action" book on the Superfortress. "Joltin Josie" stands out in my mind as one of the prominent colour profiles in that book... it'd be nice to see her in the game.

I made up a series of B-29 markings in Illustrator a while back and tried my hand at a NM skin. Didn't think there was much interest in them so I never released them. It would be great to see a proper NM skin made for the Superfortress. 90% of the aircraft that flew in B-29 Squadrons were all over NM.... one skin could form the basis of almost any aircraft you wanted. I'd always kinda hoped someone like Compans (who made some incredible NM B-17 skins) or Hammerd might turn their attention to the Superfortress.

For what it's worth... here's the material I was working on and a sample of the skin with some markings. If anyone's interested I could upload them... and maybe try my hand at the Josie art.

I've done a good deal of skins for B-29's except they are all Korean War era. The problem with trying to do certain skins on the B-29 is with the texture mapping on the 3D model.

I know the book well- in fact I used it extensively when doing the above illustration for a book cover in around 1977.
