Kit Dornier Do-217 N-1 from Italeri in 1/72
I resolved to build the Do-217 N-2 3C + IP of Birsfelden with the Swiss cross. As currently offered on the market no kit of a Do 217 N-2, I took as a basis the Do-217 N-1 from Italeri and led to an N-2 variant with various alterations and modifications.
For the conversion to the N-2, I get you additionally the conversion kit of AIMS.
