Carts Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 A long time stash lurker gets revived due to a group build(Mainly so I can crib tips and find lots of info)👍 Laid out in all its glory in my organized and tidy work area................................................ Will be doing the version from 4./KG100 with the high demarcation line and side mottling, Well, That's the plan. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Welcome! WOW, that's a very interesting way to split the fuselage and wingparts, but I believe the large T-shaped top part should result in a solid and strong assembly. V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) It also gets round the problem of the joint as on some other kits - my Frog 17-Z for example, though on that one it is covered by the white walkway? lines. I presume this is yet another re-boxing of the Italaeri kit as it was then, that started life as a K1 in 1977. As I said elsewhere they certainly got good value from the moulds! Pete Later, Ignore the above as I have just realised it is 1/48 - really must get some new reading glasses! Edited May 4, 2022 by PeterB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty84 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hi @Carts, good to see the large Do 217 getting some love. A great kit but seldomly seen built 👍 1 hour ago, vppelt68 said: WOW, that's a very interesting way to split the fuselage and wingparts A typical Revell move: A parts layout to allow multiple variants (new forward fuselage for K and M-variant, Daimler Benz engines for the M, long wing for K/M subvariants) but without ever using this options. They did the same on the Bv 222 and on the Ju 290 they could have released the whole family too. Cheers Markus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 My understanding is that the Dornier and the Ju.52 did not sell in the expected numbers, which would explain why they are not more commonly seen as finished models. I suspect that this read across to their large 1/72 kits too, despite the considerable justified praise heaped on them. However the change of ownership appears to have reduced any chance of seeing any major variant re-releases of these subjects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 Been cracking on with the interior, as my knowledge of the Do 217 is right on a par with my understanding of quantum physics the idea was to make it look busy, and not much will be visible once all closed up In situ I think the fuselage join may cause me some problems Still good fun being had 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carts Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 Thanks all for your comments👍 No matter how I tried to "fettle" it, I really couldn't get the top fuselage to fit without an obvious "step" being visible, So placed some spacers in the fuselage to bow it out, seems to have worked. Unfortunately I seem to be heading towards the horror that is masking🤪 Did manage to pick up a mask set so should be less of a pain The engines just really snapped neatly into place 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mottlemaster Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 The glide bomb is an intresting subject in its self . Good fix on th efuselage and the upper wing joins look like they worked out well .

Walter Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Wow lots of detail in the cockpit much better than ICM's. Hang on isn't this an ICM rebox? Must be your effort in the build! Edited May 16, 2022 by Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
