Tali Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Test sprues of the new 1/72 Dornier J I-II Wal have been shown. The sprues have been produced by Amodel but i'm not sure regarding the brand this model will be selling under. Source: GreenMats Club 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Looks like a very detailed kit; I have one already, I believe from Huma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Some of the sprues appear to be duplicates, including the weapons, but even allowing for this there's a wide range of options for propellers suggesting that a number of the (considerable) variations of the Wal will be appearing. The earlier kit was indeed Huma. Edited December 17, 2015 by Graham Boak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Here: http://karopka.ru/community/user/7710/?MODEL=212961 are photos of Huma's Wal sprues. I am not any specialist on Wal (yet, but I am learning...? ) but apparently those are different versions. First you may notice difference in wing tips (rounded in Huma or squared in A-model kits). Many other details are completly different - for exaple propellers - two three blades metal propellers in Huma, variation of 2 or 2x2 blades propellers in A-model. Fin and rudders - two in Huma but A-model another, also more squared like wings. The same with stabilizers. All together it looks that Huma is the latest military variant (Do 15) - almost (except propellers) fits to one varant of Yugoslavian machines (they have 4 variants, one with serial 200 was J-I, the rest machine having numbers I think 250-261 were J-II with different engines (low numbered five or six with radial engines and 4 blades props, then rest with two kinds of V engines and combinations of 2 and 4 props) with different finns but all with rounded wing tips and stabilizers - very late variants) and the A-model fits better to Spanish ones from SCW (for example 70-10)....

sroubos Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Do you know by any chance which version corresponds with the Dutch planes used in the East Indies? I wasn't aware of all these differences when I bought the Huma kit 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Here one can find a book on Wal in Dutch service, as I presume in Dutch http://www.geromybv.nl/Dornier-Wal/en Other photo here http://www.catawiki.com/catalog/postcards/themes/naval-aviation-in-the-netherlands/3461411-dornier-wal-d23 For me they looks identical (?) to the Spanish ones (70-10, 70-25... http://aviadejavu.ru/Images6/MM/MM-109/1010-29-1-1.jpg, http://aviadejavu.ru/Images6/AM/AM06-5/39-1.jpg )- squared wingtips and stabilizers and rudder - perhaps this is "early J II", because there are much older Wals like that of Madrid museum Cuatro Vientos - "Plus Ultra" which is JI From what is on photos in above links it looks that Dutch had exactly version doable from A-model Wal, perhaps it should be named "early JII". I have not found info on use of Dutch Wals during WWII. Are you sure about it? Regards J-W P.S. BTW - here is offer for interesting model in 1/72... for only 4000 euro http://www.quirao.com/en/p/scale-display-models/aircraft/20035/miniature-avion-dornier-do-j-wal-fm148.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) From pictures on the link below it looks like the Dutch had both the Lorraine-Dietrich powered versions as well as the Courlis-powered versions (F). I'm also seeing two different rudders in these pictures. http://kw.jonkerweb.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=705:dornier-wal-uk&catid=85〈=en&Itemid=547&showall=&limitstart=1 This link provides a comprehensive overview of the Dutch planes: http://kw.jonkerweb.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=705:dornier-wal-uk&catid=85〈=en&Itemid=547&showall=&limitstart=2 It seems the F-versions saw action in the Indies during WWII, the older variants were written off in 1940 latest. Interestingly the same page also mentions the following: Huma Kit 6000: Dornier Do J Wal (Versions A,B,D,E) (for Dutch version a conversion of wings and fuselage is necessary) Even more reason to be interested in this kit, I definitely want to build a Dutch plane.

JWM Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Thanks Sroubos for your info. Interesting is that the Wal with numbers above D40 took part in WWII. But here they are ommited: http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/waf/neth/mld/types/dornier_wal.htm- I do not know why? In your link there are photos of D41, for example. So they existed. This Dutch machine is very temptating to construct. Nevertheless - still no photo with orange triangles....

HansReggelsen Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Maybe I should get me one of these - the period between the wars has always facinated me - a period of inovation and pioneering in aviation - the long distance transoceanic flights across the Atlantic and Pacific by Alcock & Brown, Lindberg and Kingsford-Smith to name a few. The planes - the Val, Fokker EIII, DH Comet, Vimy etc. Hmmmm........maybe I've just been borne too late........................

Learstang Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I built the Huma one many years ago, but I might have to pick up this one, especially in the Soviet markings. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
