The Red Chinese B-29 Superfortress

I have seen many great B-29s that have been done by talented artis..today I saw a Red Chinese Air Force B-29 or TU-4 (A photograph Of it) at the Chinese Military Museum. It looked like a B-29 but it had turbo-prop engines. I thought it would be great to have a FS2004 model of it..of course the Russians reversed engineered our three B-29s that were forced to land in Russia in 1944. I saw a Red Chinese Air Force Tu-4 in the movie "Hell and High Water" it was parked on the tarmac at some secret island in the Pacific, the movie was good.

Cheers

When the Russians copied the B-29 it was just to make an exact "xerox copy" of the B-29, rivet-for-rivet, as Stalin ordered. When the Chinese reverse-engineer stuff, they usually make improvements. :)
Apparently their Tu-4 AWACS (2806501, the museum bird) was a prototype that never went into production. For some reason I always thought they had more than one.
