    @Datom It's actually quite low for a B-17 in my opinion.

    @EpicPigster1 Thanks very much I’m glad you like it, the only problem is the part count! :P

    @Datom It's ok, what I recommend doing is posting unlisteds and comparing the technical images (next to like the part info and such) to the blueprints. Unless you are doing it already :)
    On a side note, i'm loving this new build style. Much more realistic.

    Horizontal stabilizers are too big, but other than that it's very nice :)

    Your build is beatufull. Hint: bombs will fall through your “bomb bay” doors even when they are closed. Bombs, OK, but doors are aesthetic on the current Jundroo proram. @Datom

    @Stingray So does that mean a different AG for each gun? I tried to keep the AG open for the ordinance, and thanks btw I’m a bit new to custom landing gear :D

    Just check your proportions, the tail seems a bit small. Detail wise, it looks pretty good.

    Maybe check out your Ag groups on weapons? Nice design, and skilled landing gear retraction!
