Historical Background and Application

The Dornier Do 217J-1/2 was a heavy German fighter and bomber aircraft, intensively used by the Luftwaffe during World War II, especially in night operations—such as raids on London and defense against Allied bombers. This aircraft, an evolution of the Do 217 series, played a key role in the air campaigns of the mid-1940s. The Eduard 481025 set is perfect for anyone looking to faithfully recreate the appearance and realism of this fighter adaptation of the Dornier, especially since the flap details are among the most visible mechanical features on the underside of the wing.
