Description
One of the most versatile and useful bomber designs the Germans put into production after the war started, the Dornier Do 217 remedied the shortcomings of the Do 17 while greatly advancing the design in all areas. In almost every way, the Do 217 was a success. It could carry a much heavier bomb load than either the Heinkel He 111 or the Junkers Ju 88. It was also very fast, surpassing both aircraft in maximum speed. The Do217E-4 version had the largest production with 527 aircraft being produced.
- Features two long range fuel tanks and nose mounted cannon.
- Detailed BMW 801 engines, weighted tires and recessed panel lines.
