Battle of Britain foe, the Do17Z


Recommended Posts

Dear Friends

Having another go with Imgur.  This is the Airfix Dornier with Extradecal markings for KG3 in the BoB.  Used the Eduard resin MG-15 guns

The guys getting over-heated bringing the bomb are from Zvesda

 

Hope you like it?

Very realistic and well-finished model. With the diorama and the cunning backdrop, you could almost convince yourself you're looking at one of those French/Belgian airfields that the bomber units used in the summer of 1940. It's great! Paul

Andrew,

 

If you had photographed your model in b&w, it would be very hard to tell it from the real thing! Super diorama, too! Well done!

Mike

You are right. I tried it. Looks very good and more realistic.

I keep coming back to this and seeing more every time. Nothing to add to the above, except the vehicle on the left in the second photo, which is just pure class! It really makes the whole scene complete.

Thanks for your encouragement Guys!

 

How strange I posted it on BoB day.  The Do17 units were a big part of the raids on London that day.  So glad they lost!  But their aircraft have a sinister fascination.

 

the little car in the background was from Ace, can't remember where I got the Steyr from?

 

Regards

 

Andrew
