This channel is now devoted to scale modelling. This is an old hobby that I used to like doing when I was a child. All content will be devoted to building Airfix kits as well as other manufacturers.
Assembling The Airfix Dornier Do17z Part 7
During the early years of the Second World War, the Dornier Do17 was one of the Luftwaffe's most important medium bombers. Developed during the 1930s, first as a mail plane, then as a reconnaissance bomber, the Dornier was nicknamed 'the flying pencil' due to its very thin tapering fuselage.
While early versions used inline engines, the iconic and most widely used Z variant used Bramo radial engines, and featured a redesigned cockpit area, with the intention of providing more space and defensive capabilities for the crew.
However, this was not wholly successful, its small crew area and lack of power operated turrets making it easy prey for Allied fighters. Of all the German medium bombers used in the Battle of Britain, the Dornier was the slowest and therefore most vulnerable and the battle proved to be the aircrafts swansong over Western Europe, with the aircraft seeing only limited use in the later theatres of war, before being phased out altogether by mid-1942.
The Dornier became a symbol of Blitzkrieg, but its vulnerability put paid to any chance of longevity of service.
Specifications:
Speed: 217mph
Range: 410 miles
Wingspan: 59ft 1in
Length: 51ft 10in
Armament: 6 x 7.92 MG 15 machine guns in front, rear upper, rear lower and cockpit side positions.
Bombs: 1,000 kg of bombs carried internally, either 20 x 50kg or 4 x 250kg bombs.

Why not just buy the Corgi Dornier Do17Z Diecast Model, in 1/72 Scale, it would save all the stress and heartache of having to build one, trust me.
the flying pencil, it was always a pain
OK
Good build session. Looks like a nice kit. Bill
Thanks
Liking it. ❤
Good build video. Hope you add the aircrew figures. Happy modeling. Bill
Coming along nicely been following the build since the start 👍
Thanks
👍👍
Thanks
Looking good.....👍
Cool model. 👍
It sure is!
Coming along very nicely at quite some pace Steve. Wish I could start my Dornier but I'm still battling with the Severn lifeboat!
Cool
Excellent job sir ❤
Thanks a lot 😊
Looking good sir.
Right on
Loved that ❤
🛩Have a great build.
Thanks. I will do.
Great content thanks. A very interesting aircraft N2980. She had quite a combat/operational record before she had to ditch in the loch that day.
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy Birthday Steve and well done on the Wellington!
Thanks
It is an odd plane.. but the flying pencil name gets a lot more understandable with the earlier versions.
Love Coastal Command aircraft. Just hoping I live long enough to see this model finished.
Happy birthday mate for Friday!
Thanks.
Love see some good old modeling to meney go the top keep up the good work
Cool models. 🛩
Look forward to knight rider matey ! 👍
How about the new AK Interactive Real Color markers, you can get them in individual colours or in sets. Jadlam and most other online retailers will have them.
Great, I'll bear that in mind. Thanks.
Airfix is still alive! When I was kid I glued very many of these. Lucky time! My time Welingtons plastic was black.
Are you going to put the poll in the community tab Steve? If not my vote is for the Dornier, I've had the same kit in my stash for a while too.
Yeah will do.
every day is a school day we all learn something new
I use the Yellow 'low tack' version of Frog Tape, never had any issues with it, apart from being 25mm wide and having to cut it into narrower strips.
Coming along nicely Steve, adding the decals really starts to bring the model to life. If you don't mind me saying and I know we all do things differently but I would have sprayed the whole fuselage white then just masked off the lower part to paint the grey. It might have helped prevent any bleed under the tape where it crossed the white paint line. Just a thought. Anyway do enjoy the rest of your week off and stay cool!
I like the Coastal Command camouflage scheme.
looking good
The detail in that kit is impressive. I may have to invest... and toss the Italeri one off the shelf. I was never happy with the fit and finish of it anyway... even though it was a step up from Matchbox...
Well, it's definitely a step up from the old Matchbox one I did a few years back... may have to see how much they cost over here. (Airfix is getting really pricey in Canada.)
Love the interior detail on this kit Steve, can't wait to start mine but promised myself I'd finish my Severn class lifeboat first. Should be about Christmas then!
You can do it!
Port and left have 4 letters each...that's how I was taught back in the day! 😊
The new camera angle works well Steve.
Thanks.
Does the Coastal Command version have the Leigh Light option
what happened to your spitfire diaroma project in the end?
I will get round to doing it eventually. I need to book time off work to get real work done to the bedroom and get it converted into a hobby room. Only when that is finished, I can start work on a diorama. Also I need to raise funds for getting the materials to build a work bench.
Steve I don't know if you could alter the angle of the camera a bit next time, most of your work was off camera on this one.
I noticed that myself when I watched it back prior to uploading.
This is a few steps above the Matchbox offering...
Love the coastal command scheme Steve, look forward to watching the build. I should be getting the Mk.II in the next few days.
I've already got the Mk.II
I did notice you have the set!
Amazon often send purchases without any external packaging, although they do give you the option at checkout if you would like it sent packaged.
how is your room change going?
always good to imagine diffrent scenarios especially for dioramas
Kitchen worktop is ideal for cutting photo etch, nice and flat and hard. But a better option would be a tile or a piece of glass, ideal,for your workbench, much more portable! Cutting mats are not good for photo etch, too soft and springy...Good luck with it 😊
I needed a bit of filler in the rear roof joint so test it before you paint it
Seeing the "Kite" my father flew, seeing where he sat and the controls he would have used, was very special. Thank you so much.
Nice video, very interesting 😊
Thank you! 😃
A nice tribute to the Spitfire, its pilots and those up the food chain.
