Ratch Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 During the early years of World War II the Dornier Do 17 was one of the Luftwaffe’s most important bombers. It had been developed in the 1930s as a mail plane, nicknamed ‘The Flying Pencil’. Unfortunately it was easy prey to RAF pilots, being the slowest of German bombers. 3Z+GS 8. Staffel, III Gruppen, Kampfgeschwader 77, Laon/Couvron, Northern France, July 1940.http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24455877/411512701.jpghttp://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24455877/411512719.jpghttp://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24455877/411512708.jpghttp://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24455877/411512705.jpghttp://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24455877/411512703.jpghttp://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24455877/411512702.jpghttp://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL761/13303934/24455877/411512704.jpg
Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Nice work Ranch. Did you have any problems with fitting the wings like I did with my build?
Ratch Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 My wings went on fine, though I did smear some plastic putty into the wing root.
