1:72 Do-17 Z Bomber

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

A color photo-etched instrument panel for the cockpit of the German Dornier Do 17Z bomber in 1:72 scale from Yahu Models. It is not an aircraft model but a finished, pre-printed and painted cockpit accessory that replaces the plastic instrument panel in the base kit and raises the realism of the cockpit. The set is intended for the classic Do 17Z bomber version.

The real subject

The Do 17Z was a German twin-engine light and medium bomber of the late 1930s, nicknamed the flying pencil for its slender fuselage. It was powered by radial engines and the crew sat in a glazed forward cockpit. It was deployed from the beginning of the Second World War, among other things during the Battle of Britain. The bomber version had different cockpit equipment from the later night fighter variant.

Use

• The panel is fitted into the cockpit of a base Do 17Z model in the bomber version
• It is pre-printed and in color, so there is no need to paint it
• It brings finer detail of the dial faces and labels than the plastic part
• A quick rise in cockpit realism without photo-etch work or an airbrush

Who it is for

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

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