Tokyo Raider Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Greetings Friends- Here is my latest build: an Excellent ICM kit, the Do-17Z-2 in 1/48. I really liked the kit and the fit problems were my own. I always have trouble fitting clear parts to opaque and the ventral gun section moved on me. I really liked the kit and am very happy with the result. The decals were by Owl and for F1+HH which I have a photo of it and it lacks the ID markings of the commonly portrayed F1+FH with the Devil insignia. Kagero also did a profile of it and this is the one I did. The Paint is Mr. Color 70/71 and 65 lightened a pinch. The Stencil and insignia decals are Eduard and were excellent. The Clear is Tamiya. Only adds were Eduard 'Look' Instrument and harness kit and Eduard Resin Do17Z Wheels. Oh yea, I added quickboost exhausts kit. Enjoy and comments welcome! Let me know what I can improve. 61 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Looks superb! Great build and a great finish. Always loved the look of the Dornier 17Z, and it is the classic Battle of Britain German bomber from my perspective. Got the ICM kit in the stash myself, so really nice to see how the kit builds up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Bob, You did a great job on the “ Flying Pencil”. The windscreen framing stands out particularly for me. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is essential and gives great results! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesof266 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Top result. 🔟 Appreciate the build report too. Been wanting on of the night fighter variants of this ICM kit for some time -offput today by its hefty price, Your build has cemented the decision to buy when I see a favourable opportunity. 👍🍻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both look great and I thought they were a good value. The prices went up on the Do217N kits which is also a great kit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day Bob, Yes, the price on the Do 17Z-7 isn't too savage all things considered given what it is gauged on current kit pricing generally, but the ICM Do 217 series price point is frightful. The lovely Do 17Z-2 which you just built is comparatively reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maginot Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 That looks fantastic. High quality finish on the paint. Transparencies are so clear and the frames sharp. Nice detail on the cockpit internals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 That's really quite lovely - a fantastic rendition of one of my favourite aircraft. They did throw quite a lot of exhaust - the only thing I'd suggest is perhaps some staining along the top of the wings. Great stuff! Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used tamiya soot and followed several in flight photos to get the amount. I dont think it comes out on photos well but its very noticable by eye... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obdl3945 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Hi, Bob... This is a wonderful rendition of the '17Z', and I also doubt there's anything you need to improve. Very well done. Regards, Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
