Alain Gadbois Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 There is still a lot of stuff out there I'm sure. That's where the nearly intact Fw 190 came from. The pilot stepped out, walked away and it stayed there untouched! Tanks are pulled out of bogs as if they fell in yesterday. Like the Stug III in white finish with complete tool box. Youtube is full of videos of those finds, take a look! Alain Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adameliclem Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Seems to me that a1/32 Do-17 could be produced if it were a collaborative project involving talented and knowledgable artist-historians. Like, you know, us. Adam chukw and nmayhew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I hold out hope that ICM will do Beaufighter and Do 17. And a Pete. LSP_K2, Gazzas and Fanes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamF Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I think you're all thinking 'real aircraft' drawings for making a model, that drawing is a good starter for the exterior and the photos of the cockpit are quite a lot of info, don't forget the sizes of the instruments are probably out there to scale off. The actual fuselage is only ever a thick rendition in say 1.6mm thick material and the cockpit a compromise to fit in the over scale fuselage.

chukw Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I did a build review of the Do 215 B-5- look for it in an upcoming issue of TMMI. I was able to find plenty of detail drawings from the original manuals and totally rebuilt the cockpit, etc. Took forever, but, well, you'll see.

fightersweep Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Well, I'm still hoping for the Do-17 in 1/32. The 111 and 88 are needing the third Musketeer to complete the set. I won't hold my breath though, and besides, I've got plenty of other stuff to build while I wait for hell to freeze over. Personally, I think it's one cool looking aeroplane...but I do have a thing for twin tailed birds. Pup7309, chukw and Fanes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Which one ? Radial or inline ? I like 'em both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like 'em both I'd love a Do-17Z with the Bramos, but a 215 would be cool too, along with any of the early true "Pencils" as those pre war tri colour schemes appeal greatly. I may have to revert to 1/48th to get what I would like to build though. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 There is still the substantial wreck of a Dornier DO-215 nightfighter on mudflats somewhere north in The Netherlands. A large section of cockpit skinning and an engine are on display at our museum. The rest is still out there. But due to environmental issues etc. etc. chukw, Alain Gadbois and MikeMaben 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 The 215 is even less famous than the 17 though I do find it more appealing. But anything is better than the current nothing...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
