Hi, I present you my first skinpack for B-29.

Because nose of this plane is quite difficult to skin (Especially on the nose under the cocpit section) I decided to move some historical nose arts a little bit from their original location (for exqample "This is it!" nose art is a little bit moved from bombardier's window). Otherwise they will be twisted. Someone should remodelled 3d model of this plane ;) 

Anyway, skinpack include 19 historical skins for B-29, of the 677th Bomb Squadron, 444th Bomb Group, while it was besed on West Field airbase on Tinian during 1945 plus 1 blank with 677th's markings.

677th BS was part of the first Boeing B-29 Superfortress group (444th BG) formed for the 58th Bombardment Wing, and served in the China Burma India Theater, and Pacific Ocean Theater as part of Twentieth Air Force.

In the April of 1945 the 677th BS with 444th BG and the other groups of the 58th wing moved to Tinian in the Marianas in order to continue operations against Japan. The group and squadron participated in the bombing of strategic objectives, strategic mining of the Inland Sea and in incendiary attacks on urban areas for the duration of the war. 
The squadrons's final mission was flown against Hikari, Japan on 14 August 1945, the day before the Japanese surrender. 
The squadron received the Distinguished Unit Citation for its combat operations on three occasions.
