CJM B-17

In December 2014, Century Jet Models was offered the opportunity to complement our current war bird fleet with a composite B-17 aircraft. Why a bomber and why the B-17F? Answer was simple. Memphis Belle! With the evolution of composite materials and the advancement of electric gear motor and battery technology, the 126” Wing Span B-17 was a logical choice for our next aircraft (glow, gas, electric).
The B-17F fuselage is constructed using epoxy-glass with multiple composite materials with plug-in wings to make the lightest and strongest model possible. F-17G conversion kit available.
