A feature on the Boeing B-54A mock-up inspection of 1948 is now up at RetroMechanix.com:

The B-54A was the planned production version of the YB-50C and the final development of the B-29 Superfortress. It was powered by improved R-4360 Variable Discharge Turbine (VDT) radial engines and featured a larger wing span and longer fuselage, among many other changes. The article features 48 high resolution drawings and photos of this forgotten final development of the B-29/B-50 bomber series, ideal reference for those contemplating purchase of the Anigrand kit or modification of a B-29/B-50 kit. Enjoy!
