Dave’s 1/48 Eduard/ICM Dornier Do17Z

This is the Eduard special edition reboxing of the ICM kit with Eduard photo etch, masks and resin parts.

So to kick off the obligatory sprue shots.

Nice choice. Not an aeroplane we see modelled very often. Nice to have canopy masks given there's a fair bit of glazing. Should build up into a big model at 1/48. Are they resin wheels? Alternatives to the plastic ones. I wonder what advantage they see in resin? Watching with interest.

The wingspan will be about 38cm. The resin wheels provided are flattened where the plastic kit wheels are completely round.

They also have far better sidewall detail 😁. Be interesting to see this come together. As Jim says, the Blitz era Jerry bombers are rare birds, especially at 1/48th.

That looks a quality kit Dave, although I am a bit biased, I do like Eduard kits a lot.
