B-17 Bomb bay
Here is a look at how I
did the bomb bay modification.
The goal was to use the
B-17 for the candy drop. I also
wanted to be able to load the candy from the top of the fuselage.
To do this I needed to
work out a door system that would hold the doors closed with the weight of the
candy on them.

Below are images that
show how it was done.
I guess if you have a Bomb Bay then
you will need some Bombs too!
