I had one of those Revell models of a B-17g almost two decades ago. 147 parts. Tons of dedication. Tons of mess-ups and fixes.. and probably not even on level as the guy's video. Nearly a month and I was on the last steps of finishing it until I lost it all from an angry sister who took it and smashed it in rage.

I work at an aviation museum and we have plenty of models and ironically (I guess?) the best models we have are of ships. Two are aviation related; the USS Wolverine, which was an old, paddle-wheeled coal collier converted to a practice carrier in Lake Michigan (no u boats there!) and the USS Nimitz. My other favorite is of an Iowa-class battleship, the Missouri I believe. I would have loved to see Tom tackle these behemoths, as each model is roughly 3-4 feet long. That in stop motion would have been insane!

I built a Ravell B-17 years ago of which I was very proud. It didn't look like this! Awesome job.

Such a beautiful plane. My Grandfather flew one in WW2, and he got to fly a restored one a few years before his death 7 years ago. Excellent plane and an excellent video

Amazing job done! B-17 in 2020 still one of the most beautiful planes ever built, so simple in design but so elegant in shape and style.

Love what you have done to add the metal bits to the plane, the guns, etc., and esp the rigging. Authenticity at this scale does require effort and creativity. Kudos to you man!

This video must have taken forever to edit. I can appreciate how the music ends and everything is tied together at the end with the B17 footage wrapped up like a bow. That engine detailing is some next level stuff.
