B17G, the chin turret was added later in the war as Luftwaffe fighters discovered that by attacking the B17 head on they could inflict maximum damage and get away without recieving a scratch, in some earlier B17's they had put a hole in the nose cone so either the navigator or bombadier could move then single 50cal from their positions in the nose and combat it but this was ineffective and very cumbersome.

Bet it would get really hot too sitting in that heat! think how quick they would have to work as the polish must have dried and caked on in no time...

tbh, that battle in star wars is no walk in the park. try getting attacked by imperial tie fighters in a "piece of junk" even if it can do the kessle run in 12 parsecs!

So hang on, it took half a dozen people 6 days to 'detail' a whole plane. How on earth do some of these companies manage to spend that long with 1 bloke on a car
