1:72 Do-17 Z Night Fighter

Instrument panel Do 17Z night fighter 1:72 (Yahu Models)

A colored photo-etched instrument panel for the cockpit of the German Dornier Do 17Z night fighter in 1:72 scale from Yahu Models. It is not an aircraft model but a finished, pre-printed and painted cockpit accessory. The set is prepared for Do 17Z models in the night fighter version.

The real subject

The Do 17Z was a German twin-engine aircraft of the late 1930s, nicknamed the flying pencil because of its slim fuselage. In the night fighter version (the Do 17Z-10 Kauz) it was given a modified nose with search equipment and a heavier forward armament for night combat with bombers. It was powered by radial engines, and the machine was one of the early German night fighters of the Second World War. It is precisely the different cockpit equipment that sets the night fighter apart from the classic bomber version.

Use

• The panel is placed in the cockpit of a base Do 17Z model in the night fighter version
• It is pre-printed and colored, so it does not have to be painted
• It brings more detail in the dials and the labels than the plastic part
• A quick way to raise the realism of the cockpit without photo-etch work and an airbrush

Who it is for

• Modelers of German aircraft in 1:72 scale
• Collectors of night fighters of the Second World War

This is a finished colored photo-etched cockpit accessory, not an aircraft kit. The base model and glue are not included in the package.
