Bill Bunting Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Just finished this Revell DO-17Z-10. It's the ICM kit repacked and new decals. It will be reviewed in Scale Aircraft Modelling in the near future. Edited July 22, 2017 by Bill Bunting Added photos and tags 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hey, you built the landing gear without throwing it against a wall. Much accolades your way for that alone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Bunting Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks everyone. It was a really neat little kit. Attaching a photo of the interior - quite good for 1/72. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 She looks really fine. I have one but have still to work up the courage to have a go as I've still got the mental scars from trying to build ICM's original Do215 kits (has the honour of being the only kit that I have ever officially given up on during a build). I am getting the jitters looking at your photo of the build, that is roughly where the trouble started for me on the Do215 as the cockpit section would not match up with the wing/fuselage section without a packet of Milliput being thrown at it.

snowen250 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Duncan, Don't be scared! I built this kit recently and the fit was superb, simple and fun build! I was sure it would be a nightmare, but it was a joy Simon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Don't be put off by that previous kit and experience. This new one is very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Wow Bill that is a beauty,.......I`m not a fan of German aircraft but have always had a soft spot for their night fighters, especially the earlier overall black ones and you have done a brilliant job here mate. I look forward to reading your artilce in SAM. I`ve started to build the Special Hobby 1/48th Ju 88C night fighter, which will also be wearing an overall black scheme, hope it turns out as nice as your model, Cheers Tony PS- The plastic on the ICM C-45 Expeditor kit put me off buying any more kits from this manufacturer as it was so brittle,.....was this one the same?

Bill Bunting Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thanks Tony. The plastic was not brittle at all. In fact it was rather soft and easy to trim. The fit was spectacular. I have an Fw189 to do next and a 1/48 vrsion of this one. I'll let you know what they're like. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I know what's next on my build list now, thanks. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin1967 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Wow ! Really like this build, looks like ICM have upped their kits, had a terrible experience of their earlier Tupolev sb-2 kit, which, unfortunately put me off buying anymore of their kits, maybe I need to rethink that policy. Well done and thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
