Greg Law Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 This is in the ICM catalogue I got today. Lets hope they have designed the Kit so they can do a Do 217K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I love to this come out. I will definately buy one or two. I have still got a few Revell Do-217 E's in the stash, with some koster conversionsets. I still don't understand why Revell didn't do different versions. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 This is looking more promising. I had almost given up. Pity they didn't make those aerials PE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, The Revell Do -217E is a Monogram original and, to my knowledge was never produced in another variant. Revell would have re tool the mould or, bring out a brand new kit. Something I would personally welcome . Allan Edited March 28, 2019 by Albeback52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence Greg but, I am very glad they didn't. I hate p/e parts!!😀. I can certainly live with the plastic items! However, to each their own. Model looks very nice.

I'm sure Owl will do a set or I might be able to adapt their Ju 88 set for it. I will probably be hating PE too in a few weeks after building my Ju 188's cockpit which is full of it.

AmaruTG Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Eagerly waiting for news of a M or K-2 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holzhamer Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Now this looks nice! And the cockpit seems to have a proper sized pilot’s seat, unlike their Do.17/215, and the tail boom also looks the part. I’ll just echo and say I have my fingers crossed for an M version as well. Two thumbs up for ICM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 ICM has been having a bold release schedule. I wonder if they plan to release a 1:48 He 177 and replace the one from Special Hooby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas88 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Hello, finally this kit is released. The kit looks basically nice. And I hope, the real thing will be different in some parts in comparison to the 3D-pics (as the engines looks "problematic" to me, and nothing worth to talk about german wheels - especially wheel-hubs, and the old-school-construction Do 217-ailerons, which Monogram as well, did not got correct on their kit). The main parts looks universal for other variants of the 217 (with E-shape front). Beside The N-2 version, as this was the only nightfighter-version, which was designed and bulid as a original nightfighter off the production line (as the J's and N-1's raised from converted bomber fuselages (as you can see in their different front side views of the belly-line: N-2 a smooth curved look versus the steped or S-kurved look on the J's and N-1's)). These two pics are from "older days" (2006) - my garage-production DB 603 for Monogram's 48th scale kit (I am not sure, to throw the away) . . . For sure, another gap in the cross-marked airfleet is closed. Happy modelling. Edited May 31, 2019 by Andreas88 correction 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren´t the props and spinner the same as used by the He-177? there could be second life for -at least- part of your set as replacement for the Special Hobby kit.
