Alburymodeler Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 This is certainly something out there, probably tons of good info, but PR drawings and the like should never be the basis of any model larger than 1/144.

Artful69 Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Well ... There's obviously enough info about the type to create a book ... In the 'Classics' series too!! Due March next year ... http://www.crecy.co.uk/dornier-do-17 Rog Alain Gadbois, Troy Molitor, MikeMaben and 1 other 4
LSP_Mike Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Yes, but if we go backwards, we can add framework for the interior, and start to get some layout of the essential systems.
Gazzas Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 So, am I to regard everything in my ICM Dornier 17z2 as fiction, then? monthebiff, MikeMaben, adameliclem and 2 others 2 3

LSP_Mike Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 I had actually hoped ICM would produce this in 1/32. They make some excellent 1/35 trucks and I have a couple of their 1/32 planes which are to the same standard. Alburymodeler and LSP_K2 2

There are interior photos that are obviously not complete but there aren't complete interior photos of many models. 19 hours ago, Alburymodeler said: This is certainly something out there, probably tons of good info, but PR drawings and the like should never be the basis of any model larger than 1/144.

nmayhew Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 yeah i've never bought the whole 'there's not a real aircraft so we can't design a model' line - never coming within a continent of the real thing hasn't it hasn't stopped Trumpeter (and others!) churning out kits over the years Alain Gadbois, Gazzas and fab 2 1
Fred Jack Posted November 19, 2019 Author Posted November 19, 2019 So it’s 50-50 whether we will get a Do-17 or a Don’t-17. Alburymodeler 1
heraldcoupe Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 The Soviets purchased two new Do-215 and they were very extensively photographed, full interior and external detail shots. It's some years since I've seen these images, but they are presumably still to be found somewhere, and I would assume have made it into print, Cheers, Bill. MikeMaben and Gazzas 1 1
LSP_Mike Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 OK, THAT makes me wonder: how much in the way of planes, tanks and other "stuff" lies hidden away in Russia? Is it possible they have 109s and 190s tucked away? Tiger tanks? Quite a rabbit hole to go down. Gazzas 1

Is it possible they have 109s and 190s tucked away? Tiger tanks? Quite a rabbit hole to go down. It does make you wonder. Many years ago I went to look at a building about an hour west of Perm Russia. It turned out to be an WW2 heavy truck factory from WW2 that they closed in the 90's. A total 1940 time capsule, they just closed the doors and left. It was full of American made machine tools. Mills, lathes, shapers, rivet machines, welders, drill press etc all from WW2. Had the classic triangle shaped overhead window that open for ventilation and cast iron tile floor. Very cool, very cool Gazzas 1

Just to clarify, this wasn't an aircraft that survives, but one that was comprehensively assessed when it was newly delivered (1939?). The photographs were something of a revelation, like the best walkarounds of museum exhibits, Cheers, Bill. LSP_K2 and Gazzas 2
LSP_Mike Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 I get that. Given the sheer numbers, it got me thinking. I sometimes wonder if there is an He 100 in pieces, in a warehouse somewhere. Gazzas 1
