| Don C | Scratch Built B-17 | Build | 22-Sep-14 14:01 |  | | Views : 845 | | The nose cone and top turret were formed from plastic packaging over a carved balsa form in the oven. Lots of attempts and hot fingers before getting them right. Ball turret from a plastic ball I found in a craft store. It hangs from the top of the fuselage. Horizontal spin is from that rod and vertical from the wire you see here. |
