137k BaconEggs  8.5 years ago

This is my entry for the improvements challeng by @PolandBall. The B-117 was a minimized version of the B-17, and was made to counter the complaints of the bombers being hit easily. Due to being limited in size, it has less guns and bombs payload. Also, with inspration from the P-51D, it sports a sleek canopy. 1, 2, and 3 for guns, 4 to drop external fuel tanks, and 5 to drop bombs.
