Dornier 217

[Kakukk]

Hy guys!

I know i have got some unfinished projects but this is something different....
Last year i had got a message from my friend because he found some remains from an airplane.
The plane was a german Dornier 217 nightfighter from NJG 100 (i dont know which company yet ) ,the plane crashed 14th December 1944 after attacking russian DB-3F. They are possible crashed in the air because both airplane fell down.

So here is my project now....

Hi Kakukk!

Nice start! I’m just a little bit confused about your nose section and canopy. To me it looks more like a Do 215

The Do 217 J had a much more pointed nose.

Have a look here:

To compare a Do 215:

At home I have a nice set of drawings about the Do 17, Do 215, Do 217 family. Contact me if you need them.

Cheers, Simon

Looking good Kakuuk! Simon, I'd appreciate those drawings. You should still have my email addie, so if you could send them I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm stuck on a Do-17Z myself at the moment.

hi mate,

just a couple of points, should the topside camo come all the way to the bottom of the canopy frame?


and the England Blitz badge looks too narrow
