WOW!

Other than the MLG tires being a little narrower, I couldn't tell it from the real thing, in flight or on the ground. Fantastic machine 8) .

Excellent work! Your B-17 looks great too.

Are those landing lights that are dropped down in that last picture of the P-61?

Amazing work! I like the B-17 and the Sunderland as well. Have you flown the Sunderland off water?
