It hasn't happened yet because it is not as exciting as the He111 or Ju88. But I will not say it will never be done. I think the night fighter Do 217 would be the most popular in the Dornier line.

Marcleon 67 Posted November 17, 2019 I'm pretty sure a Do17 would go down well and is not too difficult to produce in 1/32... just remember, there are no remaining factory plans and no remaining examples of the Fokker Dr1 and yet we have how many kits in how many scales??

LSP_Mike 3,952 Posted November 18, 2019 The Do 17 is arguably more complex, but, the desire to see it done might be enough LOVE to see WNW do one. 1 Gazzas reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alburymodeler 566 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artful69 2,847 Posted November 18, 2019 Well ... There's obviously enough info about the type to create a book ... In the 'Classics' series too!!

LSP_Mike 3,952 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazzas 6,374 Posted November 18, 2019 So, am I to regard everything in my ICM Dornier 17z2 as fiction, then? 2 3 Fanes, adameliclem, monthebiff and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LSP_Mike 3,952 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. 2 LSP_K2 and Alburymodeler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nmayhew 1,202 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 2 1 Gazzas, Alain Gadbois and fab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fred Jack 458 Posted November 19, 2019 So it’s 50-50 whether we will get a Do-17 or a Don’t-17. 1 Alburymodeler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heraldcoupe 9 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. 1 1 MikeMaben and Gazzas reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
