That, and it wasn't until 1953.
Still..................
:hmmm
 
Office update.....The cockpit cabin is pretty much done, but I think I need to add some sort of bomb sight. I will have to make one I guess.

Don't think you'll want a Norden sight for the B-35. More like a radar bombing set like the B-36.

Maybe so, but the Norden bomb sight was used as a backup for even the B-47 Statojet which came much later. I don't think adding the Norden to this aircraft rushed into service in 1946 would be out of the ordinary.

Maybe this one will be the Super Norden, improved version. :coolio

Looking forward to it, Terry! (y)

Yeah but they very clearly had a bombardier station oriented in a prone position, looking at a radar screen doesn't require prone position. I think Terry's right with the Norton...git'er done. :popcorn
