The wingspan is about 26", and it's about 18" long. A nice size model with a lot of detail. It's about the same size as the B24 Liberator, but much smaller than the B29.

Q: how fast and high it go?

As fast and as high as you can throw it.

Q: L. M. Fuke strongly encouraged the use of glue clamps for putting together the B-17 Flying Fortress. What are the best glue clamps to use?

I used spring clothespins with excellent results. BTW, after you put in countless hours meticulously painting and detailing this excellent model, don't become suicidal after an adult recipient tries to see if it will function as a glider. (It doesn't) and tosses the shattered remains unceremoniously into the trash. Don't ask how I know this.

Q: have not build a model ever, 75 years old male, want to build a model for grandson. is this plan i should start with if not what do u suggest?

I know I'm almost a decade late answering, but maybe another person can.be helped by my 2 cents. This is my first build in 35 years and this B-17G kit is absolutely not for beginners BUT, the 1/48 scale size is way less frustrating than building a 1/72 scale with such tiny parts. Do research into the restored examples, download photos, watch YouTube videos of step by step builds, read the instructions a few times, get familiar with the parts, and make sure to learn the basics like how the glue reacts with plastic to form a weld. Scrape the excess flash from the parts, removing the parts without damaging, washing the parts, and make sure you have the necessary tools. This build can have very satisfying results if you take it seriously, don't get discouraged when you screw up because you absolutely will learn thr hard way. You can fix almost any screw up. I think it's a great bonding and learning experience because this aircraft has a lot going on and a very notable example of WWII fighters. I was an avid car modeler starting at age 7, peaked in my teens and tapered off by mid twenties. I'm 65, came across this kit for 7 bucks at Salvation Army which sparked my renewed interest. So, I went all in, got an airbrush, a variety of acrylic, lacquer, and enamel paints from various manufacturers, and scratch building interior detail. Working on the radio compartment right now. Very tedious but worth the time and pain.
