Airfix's Dornier Do17Z-2

September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · · 8 · 234

Hi, my recent build of this kit was just something to do that wasn't too taxing, and I chose to leave the bomb bay closed off and the flaps in neutral.

Easily the best kit in 1/72 scale, this builds up into a very attractive kit and it has the benefit of many different camouflage schemes to choose from. In this case, I decided on an aircraft from 7./KG3. It was based on a photo of '5K+CR', photographed at Tampere, Finland on 12 February, 1942. As I couldn't source a letter 'C', I made mine aircraft 'H'.

Thanks for looking in. I hope you like the kit, and if you want to see the build, it's on YouTube via this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiElcOAYlnY.
