WOW134 The Dornier 17 also known as the flying pencil was a twin engined light bomber designed to be able to outrun enemy fighters. Making its combat debut in the Spanish Civil War, the Dornier was liked by its crews but was considered inferior in performance to the He 111. The Dornier 17 usually had a crew of 4 all housed in the same compartment and comprised of a pilot, bombardier and 2 gunners to help defend the aircraft. Production ended in 1940 with the Do 217 replacing the Do 17, however surviving examples carried on serving until the end of the war in various guises. Our latest model comes in an attractive sand and green mottled camouflage scheme suitable for the Desert war or Italian front. The Do 17 was nearly 60ft in length and with a wingspan of 59ft and once again makes this a very distinctive looking model in 1/30 scale. We have an initial batch of 3 aircraft available now at a cost of $999 which includes postage worldwide.
