Hmmmm, a mystery? Green painted waist and radio room, a secondary brace in the waist window-that should be a good clue, Armor behind pilots seats?

Well spotted, but does it qualify for looking authentic?

Aside from the green pained interior, she looks like she has a LOT of her proper gear in place! O2 systems, radios, ammo feeds, Cool! :D

And it doesn't appear to be Mary Alice unless they've started all over again inside.........

We're running out of non-US Forts rapidly. ;)

Does this look like a B-17 just back from a mission sometime in 1945

Too many shell casings on the flat surfaces, they would roll down into every nook and cranny as she bucked and rolled, she looks mid mission, just get a little smoke and some crewmen in there, I see the blue screen outside, a film version?

Well done, Its the B-17 mock up we made for the new Red Tails film, Had to construct and fit out a fuselage section, and try to find all the bits.
Hope you guys like what you see, there is only a small part of the film shot inside the fuselage, but we had to try to make it look as authentic as possible.
Hopefully and job well done.
P.S it was built in Prague, and the fuselage was made 15% bigger to allow cameras to have more room to film inside.
