The B-17 was a low-wing monoplane that combined aerodynamic features of the XB-15 giant bomber, still in the design stage, and the Model 247 transport. The B-17 was the first Boeing military aircraft with a flight deck instead of an open cockpit and was armed with bombs and five .30-caliber machine guns mounted in clear ‘blisters.’ The B-17E, the first mass-produced model Flying Fortress, carried nine machine guns and a 4,000-pound bomb load. It was several tons heavier than the prototypes and bristled with armament. It was the first Boeing airplane with the distinctive — and enormous — tail for improved control and stability during high-altitude bombing. Each version was more heavily armed. In the Pacific, the planes earned a deadly reputation with the Japanese, who dubbed them ‘four-engine fighters.’ The Fortresses were also legendary for their ability to stay in the air after taking brutal poundings. They sometimes limped back to their bases with large chunks of the fuselage shot off.

Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress 3D Model
The 3D model was created on real base. It’s created accurately, in real units of measurement, qualitatively and maximally close to the original.Model formats:- *.max (3ds Max 2008 scanline)- *.max (3ds Max 2008 vray)- *.fbx (Multi Format)- *.obj (Multi Format)- *.3ds (Multi Format)- *.mb (Maya 8.5)- *.lwo (Lightwave 6)- *.c4d (Cinema 4D 11)* renders Are made in 3ds Max 2008 using vray 1.5 (studio environment is not included in the set)If you need any other formats we are more than happy to make them for you.The model is provided combined, all main parts are presented as separate parts therefore materials of objects are easy to be modified or removed and standard parts are easy to be replaced. If you experience difficulties with separating standard parts we are more than happy to give you qualified assistance.We greatly appreciate you choosing our 3D models and hope they will be of use.We look forward to continuously dealing with you.Sincerely Yours,Hum3D Team
