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

I still have one of these from when i was a kid
Hey my relative has this one, the yellow and blue with red glass one, the one with nose art on it's rear fender
My favorite was Jet-threat
I had the same hot wheel when I was I child
I used to have that one when i was little
I had the grey one with the Chrome base and red glass recently found it again
The b-17 part looks like a g variant of the bomber
This was the first thing I downloaded In SimplePlanes. I loved it because I was like “hmmm that B-17 kinda lookin sus”
Shut up and take my upvote
It do be like that@AWESOMENESS360
@HeathMathews yeah I guess it just works like that sometimes
Dude I could’ve sworn I followed you a long time ago literally after this post bc I loved it. And here we meet again when you upvote one of my posts lol
Same happened to me!@Warmonger5425
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.
Damn, i have that same one
Same exact one
I have a brown one sitting on the stairs. Fun times
Ayyyyy i have the same thing laying around somewhere
Love it!
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.
Stunning
i have one too,lol
I love hotwheels！
I still have this one, old and rusty
I didn't know this many people had this one
I have this one too hahaha, love it!
