    The new Eduard limited edition kit of the ICM Do-17Z. Finally a chance to use the Dmold corrected resin tail I've had since the only option for this subject was the Classic Airframes kit.

    Nice one Tom! Hope you don’t mind having a couple more builds based on the ICM box along. I don’t know that Dmold set but I’ll be using Vectors correction set on mine.
    Eagerly awaiting your progress and pick up the inevitable hints you give along the way 😉

    Another good choice. I haven't got this one yet, but it'll be interesting to see how it amtches up to the Ju88 and He111 from the same manufacturer :-).

    Hopefully all the other Eduard magic has been sprinkled over this boxing! The box art is very good too! Looking forward to this!

    An amazing choice, @tcinla!
    Looking forward to it and even more so as to see the corrected tail attached!

    Well, I made a discovery right off: the Dmold tail will not fit this kit. Unfortunately, I had to cut up the fuselage to discover that. Fortunately I have an ICM kit that just donated its fuselage halves to this project.

    I don't see many of these built. I'm sure it will be great. Will it be a Battle of Britain aircraft?

    Tom, try Vector tail set if you can grab one, perhaps you can salvage the fuselages all depends where exactly did you cut the plastic to fit the resin part

    Another great choice, Tom (@tcinla). I am glad to see I am not the only one who finds out something won't fit until after I have done some unrecoverable.

    @coling - most likely yes.
