I thought you guys would enjoy this. This guy built a 1/15 totally scratchbuilt B-17 from sheet metal without using any electrical tools.

Thank you for sharing and making me feel totally inadequate.
Superb, deserves to be in the RC & Scale Modeling section.

Cheers,
Slug

I wish he had included a few long shots so you see scale compared to a person, a car, the cat, anything. But the close-ups were great. Terrific craftsmanship.

I make it that the wingspan should be 2.13 metres at the given scale of 1:15
At 1:29 he is holding a piece in his hand. I think it is the chin turret,but am not 100%.
