B-17 Flying Fortess

12.5k Flash0of0green  4.7 years ago

My newest attempt at making a B-17. Activation groups 1,2,3,4,5,and 6 8 deactivates giro. Has a load of six 20mm bombs.

Note: like the actual thing this B-17 can float, however it can't take off when in water. yes B17s could float, why? because they were originally intended to be navel defense bombers rather than there famous role as saturation bombers. there has been pictures of B-17 crews standing on top of there aircraft after needing to emergency land in water.

this took me some time to make please upvoat.
