Cool, thanks! I worked hard on it along with @TakicraftCorporation
I love it.
And I added air to ground missiles which I realize isn't much but still... @Flash0of0green
Ahh I just put the jet engines on cause the props wouldn't get it up to speed to get it off the runway. That's literally the only reason ':0 @Flash0of0green
@CWhat016 A more modern version of the B-17 or Boeing B-17 flying Fortress would be the Superfortress or Boeing B-29 Superfortress.

@CWhat016 adding four turbo fusion engines to B-17? Can someone say heavily shake it up and concussed crew? Also if it's a modern B-17 then why dose it not have at least one of Vulcan Rotary canon or similar Artilery? Interesting thought though I'll give you that also quite original.
The Brits approve!
Look at my first few posts...we probably built about the same at first so don't worry. Just keep swimming (or flying) XD @LoganS
This makes mine look terrible
Thanks, it was a lot of fun. I guess wait around till tomorrow if you still feel like it!? @Mumpsy
Dang! I ran out of spotlights! This deserves some attention. Very cool build.
Lots of guns :)
