My grandfather Flew all his missions in WW2 in B-17's  HE was sent home for B-29 training but the war ended and he went home to farm . This is a 3d Print I did and then I thought I need a display . I printed the  airforce emblem and the 500 lbs bomb here at home . Had a lot of fun painting Grandpa's nose art Connie  . Connie took a 88 shell through the radio room but made it home . during the night her back broke and she got used for spare parts

That is so cool! I like the way you caricatured his Flying Fortress and also how it's displayed is very imaginative. That's a great legacy and memorial to his service! Thanks for sharing!

Here is a picture of Connie with Granpas crew and a picture of the hole the 88 shell left . It went off after it exited the Radio room
