Review: Airfix’s Brand-New 1/72 Dornier Do17Z
I've been looking at this kit for a while and managed to see it in a small model shop in town. Just thought I'd do an inbox review for everyone.
Although small it has plenty of nice detail

Thanks for sharing Michael, it seems 2015 will be an Airfix year !
True, Airfix have done well to start off 2015
Thanks Michael. I agree with Bernd. All their projected 2015 releases have got my interest.
A very nicely detailed kit in 1/72 scale. Airfix is starting to catch up to Hasegawa/Tamiya in terms of quality and detail!
I just built one about 2 months ago, nice little kit. I agree with my friend Morne airfix is turning out some nice kits
Thanks Michael, I've had one of these on order through my LHS for months, hopefully it will arrive soon. Meanwhile back to the Blenheim.
Good to see some more good new Airfix kits (I just wish they would do something other than aircraft!).
Their showcase release at Telford I think was a ship, but can't recall which one it was apart from the fact it looked full of detail.
Hi, George!
I was in a hobby shop today, and saw the old Airfix 1/32 old time bus, back again! Also, Montys Humber.
Hey, it's a start!
Not my scale but I agree some great detailing. I think Revell are going to release a 1/32 Dornier sometime, which should look nice with their Heinkel and Ju88.
I hope they do - that will look nice and plus I'm a huge fan of the Do17z. I'm slowly progressing with Revell's 1/32 JU88
A-1 or A-4 ?
A-1
Doing an A-1 as well, its a bit stalled but here is a link with some photos

That's nice Bernd looks great!
Can I ask did you have any problems attaching the fuselage half's together as I am?
Hi Michael, the basic airframe was done in late 2013, the fuselage was a complex build and i used some putty, the most problematic area was the "wobbly" cockpit compartment, i used a tooth stick to spread it, while sanding the whole thing, not a good fit but nothing that can t be fixed
To tiny for me (at my age) but would love to build one in 1/32 from them or ROG. Looks like great detail though
I think Airfix are coming back all right, with rumours that they may bring back the manufacturing to the U.K. but that is just rumours.
