ICM 48245 Do 17Z-7, WWII German Night Fighter (1/48) – Plastic Model Kit

ICM 48245 Do 17Z-7 is a unique 1/48 scale plastic model kit representing the German twin-engine night fighter aircraft from World War II. The Dornier Do 17Z-7 is a specialized version of this legendary machine, also known as the "flying pencil" due to its slender silhouette. This variant was used as a night fighter (German: Nachtjäger) by the Luftwaffe and played a significant defensive role for Germany during Allied bombing raids.

The Do 17Z-7 was an evolution of the earlier Do 17 bomber versions, which had served in the Luftwaffe since the beginning of the conflict. The Z-7 version was adapted for night missions by installing Lichtenstein radar and armament tailored for countering Allied bombers, including upward-firing weapons (the so-called Schräge Musik). These aircraft were heavily used between 1942–1944 on the Western Front, especially during the Battle of Britain and in subsequent night engagements defending German skies.
