ICM 48274 Do 217M-1 German Bomber 1/48 Model Kit

Item No: 48274.

Discover the engineering ingenuity behind the Do 217M-1, Dornier's innovative response to wartime engine shortages. When BMW 801D powerplants were diverted to fighter production, German engineers redesigned the Do 217K-1 airframe to accept the formidable DB 603A engines. These 1,750 hp powerhouses, paired with four-bladed propellers, propelled the bomber to an impressive 557 km/h—a significant speed advantage over its predecessor. While operational range took a modest hit, the M-1 retained the same defensive capabilities and bomb load as the K variant. This 1/48 scale ICM model kit captures a crucial chapter in Luftwaffe history, representing aircraft that served in bomber and reconnaissance roles throughout the war's final years. Perfect for modelers interested in German aviation engineering and WWII aircraft development.
