Pastor John Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hi everyone, a first look at the new AIMS 1/48 Do 217 N-2/R22 conversion for the excellent ICM Do 217 N-1 kit. It is not ready for sale yet as I wanted the set to include some additional photo etch parts like the cabin door - these will be with me soon. Total for the conversion is £20.00 plus shipping and if you are interested please email me at aimsmodels1@gmail.com Many thanks, John scvrobeson, Alburymodeler, Rick Griewski and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Very nice John, a real shame nobody has given us a 32nd scale Do 217 isn't it. Will you be looking at doing a 48th scale K or M conversion at some point? Regards.Andy Out2gtcha, scvrobeson, Alburymodeler and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not the hugest fan, but always thought a flying pencil/Do-217 would be a cool model(s) in 32nd, and with all the Luftwaffe bombers in 32nd these days, I thought for sure wed have one by now.

Gazzas Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I’m really looking forward to this one. Just reordered the kit yesterday since the place I had preordered it from seems to be behind the rest of the planet and still doesn’t have it in stock. monthebiff and Pastor John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 ICM has been cranking out a variety of Dornier designs the past few years with the earlier Do17Z variants and at least two variants of the Do 215. Now that they have the molds to do the 217 air frame one can only hope they will do the K and M variants. I would also like to see them do the earlier 17E and P variants as well but I'm probably dreaming there. Are those upward firing cannons on the top of the fuselage ? I'm surprised they would carry both the nose guns and the upper guns, no wonder it was considered under powered and sluggish ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised most of all that they continued to carry four forward firing MG-17's. Though the Mg-17 is relatively light, all of that ammo and the guns themselves might have weighed 500 LBS.

LSP_Ray Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 We should fund Pastor John doing a 1/32 Do17Z, as then just as he was finishing up, one would be released in plastic! monthebiff, Gazzas and Pastor John 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
