And here's a Do17 similar to what I'll build for this I've added finished images on my Do 17z thread. They aren.t great I'm afraid. The light was good that day. Same today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Decided to play a bit of War Thunder, bomber gameplay isn't always the best but it makes nice screenshots (the Do17E ones are actually from test flight mode) Mid air collision with another Dornier! I don't think this one is recoverable The Z-2 doesn't appear to be doing much better That looks like it hurt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 If we can get this safely through into the clear, I'll put a vote on the leopard. P38 will just have to sit it out, enough American subjects in the STGBs anyway (5 including the P38?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81-er Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Went back and amended my votes to just be the GBs I really want (ie. this one, Ju-88, and In the Wrong Hands) James 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Reminder that there are only a few hours left now. Do17 and Ju88 are real contenders now. It would be very good to get both through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty84 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi @vppelt68, as this GB is scheduled now (yes, I voted for it and be glad it got through) I'd like to enter with a 1/48 Hobbycraft Do 17E if possible. Cheers Markus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Markus Hello Markus, I'm glad for your interest and support and that the Do family GB got through! Just hop in when the GB begins, I don't always update the participant lists after a GB has got its dates. Everyone with an eligible kit is welcome, also without earlier signing in. It will be interesting to watch your big E get built . V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Not a whole lot of arm twisting was required to push me into this fray...😄 I have ordered a kit from RS. I'll be building the E variant in Spain. I looked at the older Airfix kits available on the Big Auction website and they are A) almost all from the UK (which causes expensive problems now) or just plain expensive to begin with! Now...twist the other arm and I might be convinced to build a Ju 88! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Eater Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Looking through this years GB list I remembered that I have a Do-217 buried at the back of my stash. It's an old 1/72 Airfix kit that I've had for about 20 years (& was originally released in the 1960's), I thought if I dont build it now it's probably going to be another 20 years before I look at it again 😅 Edited December 30, 2021 by Mig Eater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Hi, I will be entering my Italeri 188 if that is OK, and perhaps my old Airfix E/F. It was built at a time when the plastic cement had been modified to put off glue sniffers - smelled nice but not very good at sticking plastic together. Over the years it fell apart, and a while back I dismantled what was left and stripped off the paint leaving this. Should be OK if the 25% rule still applies - only part of the tail and the engine fronts glued together. I may still have some of the glazing but I suspect I will have to use a Falcon replacement set. I will have to build a complete undercarriage and find at least one prop blade, all the guns and a few other bits, not to mention decs. I presume it will be allowed in the GB? I believe I also have an Italeri 217K if that is allowed? Pete Edited February 5, 2022 by PeterB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yes of course, if I got that right you have superdetailed the interior but it's all still in little pieces? Welcome! V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome! V-P Thanks V-P! You're right: I've applied the masks to the transparent parts and glued the cockpit PE in place and painted the interior but the fuselage halves are still open and all other parts are still in the sprues.
