HotWheels Fast-Fortress

125k AWESOMENESS360  5.4 years ago

When I was little, I always played with the little Hotwheels Matchbox-Cars that I used to have. Today, while I don't exactly play with them anymore, I have replicated one of my favorites in SimplePlanes! Meet the Fast-Fortress™, a hybrid of what appears to be a futuristic jet car, made with the fuselage of a B-17G. Funny thing is, when I was little I never realized that it was a B-17, and I just thought it was a weird looking car, lol. But now that I'm as much of an aircraft and aviation enthusiast as I am, I now realize what it truly was this entire time!

Here's some pics:

This is what it looks like irl.


And this is it's SimplePlanes counterpart!

Controls: Pitch and Roll to drive, AG-1 activates all guns, including the Bubble-Turret; Yaw to aim it. AG-2 for headlights.
Includes working breaklights, very fast acceleration and top-speed, and it looks pretty cool overall.

Enjoy!

Edit: idk why the images aren’t there anymore and one of them is just a shoe but just pretend there’s some cool screenshots and photos there

    Maybe a year ago, I saw this in my “hottest” category, and I downloaded it. It was awesome. Then, I make a build 1.2 years later, and this same guy upvotes my build! Man this is crazy seeing the same random person a year later. Gotta love this website.

    Dude, I have the same HW car in slightly different colors.

    Had almost the same idea as you, but, instead of a replica car that properly works, I made a plane that looks bad and works more or less.
