US B-17 Flying Fortress Bomber Free 3D print model

1/900th scale B-17 Flying Fortress Bomber model. Certain elements not to scale.

The B-17 Flying Fortress became one of the most iconic bombers of the war due to its extensive use, primarily in the European theater by the United States. During the height of the war, B-17's were doing daily bombing runs on the Nazi war machine. The B-17 was also used in some Naval Battles in the Pacific, most notably the Battle of Midway.

This model is designed and tested at 1/900th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/900th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. The model has been enlarged along the z axis to allow for better printing and accentuation of detail. The model has also been given thicker elements for strength. The wingspan and overall length are to scale.

Available are both individual and squadron files. You can find the stand at https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-print-models/miniatures/vehicles/stand-for-miniature-aircraft.
