Thanks to John Overstreet, the father of Master Series builds, Josh has been given the skills needed to create an advanced-looking but easy to build scale representation of one of the most iconic aircraft in the world!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"\u003eThe FT Tubby B-17 was designed to be fun to look at, build, and fly! This aircraft features lines that represent a mix of cartoon fatty aircraft and some of our favorite vintage cartoons, this model walks the line between scale and art. It was also designed for function, with a bombay  that can carry up to 3lb of payload! The Tubby B-17 will look great on the ground but really shine in the air when you are flying it on your favorite mission to inspire young children or doing incredible aerobatics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis aircraft features a brand new building method that has been developed by Josh where a center structure aligns all the outer skins for ease of build and accuracy.

This aircraft is just as rewarding to build as it is to fly! This aircraft also features a vacuum-formed nose to give it an amazing scale look and also an improved build experience. The landing gear is also modular and allows for beautiful ground handling and smooth take-offs and landings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.3333%;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/6871\/7869\/files\/untitled-1-1728500334144.5.2.jpg?v=1770317931\" width=\"435\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.3333%;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/6871\/7869\/files\/untitled-1.2.1.jpg?v=1770317932\" width=\"433\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 33.3333%;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"254\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/6871\/7869\/files\/untitled-1.3.1.jpg?v=1770317933\" width=\"452\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe FT Tubby B-17 can be built in as little as 6 hours and is designed to last many missions. \u003c\/span\u003eYou can load the batteries and payload from the top through the removable canopy.
