andyh59 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Seen over on ScaleModels.ru site, ICM are to give us a Dornier Do17 & Do215 in 2014. Seems they are concentrating on 48 scale aircraft first release to be Po2. I would assume it will be the Do17Z version as transition to the Do215 will mainly involve engines, but hopefully will be a true representation of this mark. If the Hs126s are anything to go by we are certainly in for excellent kits. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heraldcoupe Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 If the Hs126s are anything to go by we are certainly in for excellent kits. On the other hand, if their 1/72 Do215s are anything to go by, we're not.... Cheers, Bill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyh59 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 On the other hand, if their 1/72 Do215s are anything to go by, we're not.... Cheers, Bill. Have just had a quick look at reviews for their 72 Do17/215 kits & see what you mean! Hopefully they are a manufacturer who takes note of reviews & will give us a completely new kit, not just an 'up-scale' of the 72nd kits. I believe their unreleased 48th kit of the Fw189 was to be a very good kit, lets keep fingers crossed. Thanks Homebee for adding links.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 As has been mentioned ICM's previous attempts at Dorniers haven't been entirely well received by the 1/72 community.....I wouldn't recommend pre-ordering and that's a fact!

MikeC Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hmm, interesting: mainly used for Reconnaissance, and with the "T5" codes we're assured of a weather recce aircraft at least in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyh59 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 If the CADs are anything to go by looks as though we are in for kits like the Hs126 (keeping fingers crossed). It's about time the Dornier family of bombers was represented in plastic even better it's 48th scale . Maybe we might see the E,F,Z & 217K's & M's as was proposed by Classic Airframes ,before their unfortunate demise. Never understood either why Revell/Monogram didn't modify their 217 into K or M variants. Great to see some manufacturers are willing to give us some of the lesser known versions of aircraft.Right when will we see (injection moulded 48th of course!) Fw58 - Si204 - Do24 - Bv138 - Bu133 - Go142 I could go on & on!!!! Maybe something other than Luftwaffe as well . Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Eisenman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 So looking forward to both kits, and are on the will buy and do... but. But two things give me concern. The camera bay size and the tail-planes. The camera bay looks far tto deep. These are Do 17Z pictures, but the 215 shared thge same airframe. Also the tail-planes seem to share the same mistake as the CA kit did. They are faired into the fuselage. In the Do 17Z/215, the angle of the entire horizontal surface could changed. This can be seen in the picture immediately above and also below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaVenom Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I've only bought one ICM kit (the Mig 25) and I wasn't impressed. Not only were there bubbles in the canopy.....there was no window frames on it either. Terrible so I hope this is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only were there bubbles in the canopy.....there was no window frames on it either. Terrible so I hope this is better. I like ICM kits a lot, probably because they've issued so many well-detailed kits of Russian WWII types in 1/72 (I-16, I-15, I-15bis, Su-2). That being said, their process and/or quality control does leave something to be desired - the I-16 is plagued with sink marks on the wings. I've had good success getting ICM to send replacements if necessary, but it takes a month or two. Now, where is that 1/72 I-153 that was on the ICM future release list back in 2011?!

John At least with quality control though you can usually get replacements. I just couldn't believe they made a canopy with no window frames especially as some of the other detail was quite nice.

Arniec Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I think I will buy two. The recon and nightfighter version. Even if they aren't perfect ( what kit is perfect?!). There will be some aftermarket parts for it, so everybody will be happy in the end. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
