This is my first "large" plane I built. I will be building another and try to get it to look closer to the real thing. The Boeing 17 "flying fortress" was used in ww2 daytime air raids against the nazis. These are literaly a flying fortress. I have seen old picures in history class of them still flying, even though they are missing half a rudder, or half the main wing is just framework.
