I built this model a long long time ago after watching the first "Indiana Jones", seeing the German flying wing in the movie. The wings are from a B-36 and the rest is from the spares box.  The whole concept is that she is a fast high altitude recon/bomber. Speed and altitude were her primary defenses.

There are a couple of landing lights under the wing.  At one time these actually worked!  They dropped down when turned on.  The switch was one of the propellers, quarter turn and it would come on.  Power was supplied through a 'power cart cable'.
