If you have other ideas about a double-tail B-29, maybe I could illustrate this.
Ahem... by "double-tail", I was not meaning double-fin single-tail (Bf-110-like) but twin-tail-boom or twin-fuselage...
Even if a twin-fin design may be doubled too:

The Lockheed L-381/382/383 were civilian Lightnings, with no need of high speed nor weapons in the nose(s):

Before the SAAB J.21R (reaktor), a J.21J (jet) could have been designed:

I like this design. Something to consider in building in 3D.

Very nice! Another possible J 21 variant might be retaining the J 21A's DB 605A pusher but adding your two outer wing turbojets.

Looking good - maybe modify it back to a piston engine pusher without the wing engines.
