Hi Peter,

You have a very nice profile since conjured

What strikes me spontaneously ...
The Do 17F was a reconnaissance at A/88 and had no drawings bomb on the hull.
The colors and the course was a different geometric ... especially under the identifier.
The letters were fatter ... and lower than the black "Legion Condor-disc".
The upper edge of the vertical tail was green bow ... not black.

greeting

Thansk for comment Heli.

I did not understand that "bomb on the hull"
see attached photo, maybe different assignment of the same plane ?

Hello Peter,

You're right, the picture clearly proves the opposite.
It is an early recording at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War

Here is an excerpt from the book "Legion Condor" of Karl Ries and Hans Ring ...

Dornier Do 17 E
First delivery in early 1937 to VB/88.
The Do 17 was due to a low bomb load not very effective bomber.
Under the full upgrade of the K/88 with the Heinkel He 111 .. were given the Do 17 to the A/88.

A/88 was the photographic reconnaissance of the Legion Condor.

Very nice theme.
n my opinion You should work a little bit more with fuselage lights. Photos shows clearly that bottom and down parts weren't rounded. Your profile shows it at wrong way. I think especially last one photo is right way to study how lights and shadows should be "laying" at all parts of fuselage of Do-17.
