Giampiero Piva Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 In 2015, that is two years BEFORE 😡 the ICM put the new (beautiful) mold of the Dornier 215 on the market, I decided to make one, but given the horrible fuselage of the ICM kit, I decided to 'combine' only the ICM wings with the fuselage and the tailplanes of a Do17 Z Airfix. Work not easy but not impossible, as you can see from the photos (Of course, if you have the new '215, from 2017, the problem does not arise, as the new ICM mold is very good). Here some images of my Dornier 215 B-4, belonging to 1.(F)/AGr.124, based at Stavanger, sommer 1940. The nose decal is self-printed. Colours are mixes of Humbrol enamels. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking. Giampiero Piva 59 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyW Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 That really is an astonishing level of detail inside the cockpit. The outside of the model is every bit as good, but the interior really has me slack jawed with wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
