This is my most complex built so far.
Link to the video I made on this
This is a B-17 Flying Fortress World war 2 bomber. It can bomb and destroy any ship or convoy and also keep away air threats with all its turrets. About three days worth of work went into building this.
Controls:
Activate1
= stabilize & activate turrets
Note: Usepitch
androll
to control the turrets.Fire weapons\rockets

Note: It doesn't work very well.Activate8

,Yaw
,Throttle
= normal flight controls
Weapons:
One giant 5000 lb. bomb, 425 lb. bombs, and 4 turrets
Notes:
I was inspired to build this by looking at SledDriver’s B-17 flying fortress. Although, this build is completely original.
The reverse propeller pitch idea came from BogdanX.
What I modeled this plane after.
Enjoy!

@Belloaka ok.
@50CalChicken If you would like to learn more about my build style check out this video.
@Belloaka Cool, it looks like it.
@50CalChicken Thanks, this one actually was a replica.
Looks just like the real thing.
I have been inside a B-17 before and seen one in person, it is perfection.
Thanks, @Mastermind1941 Yeah, I worked a lot on aesthetics.
Looks good man!!
