1/18 Dornier 217 nightfighter

Post by aferguson » Tue Sep 25, 2007 2:49 pm

Just bought a, very close to 1/18 scale, German Do-217 nightfighter. It's an r/c model i've had my eye on for some time now but it comes as a kit (basically a box full of sticks that you have to put together and then cover) so i held off, hoping to find a built up one on ebay. And today was that day.

Needs a bit of reworking to make it look better and a new paint job and realistic looking propellers but i'm pleased as punch to find it. It cost me for the built up what the unbuilt kit alone costs, so i'm happy with the deal. Here it is:

Here are some more pictures from the manufacturer's site, of the model, to show its lines:
