Hi guys,

My first, and sadly this is probably my only, entry is the Do-17Z by hobbycraft. I bought this kit at my hobbyshop a while back and its been sitting on the shelf waiting for this group build. Plan is OOB but the cockpit seats, controls, and what not need to be rebuilt from styrene. This will probably take a while plus I'm starting school during this group build thats why I'm not going to have a bunch of time.

I agree, good choice.

Thanks guys...started by removing all the pieces for the cockpit and seeing what need work and what needs to be completely re-done

Looking forward to this one H, as I wanted to do one of these myself. I see Hobbycraft have invested in some stunning box art ........

They must have gotten a deal on boxes because they're way to big!

They bought them in anticipation of producing a kit of that invisble stealth thing. But they couldn't see it to take measurements for the plans ........

Uh the seats are way out of scale now that I look. Building new ones is such a friggin pain!! Especially armor around the pilots chair. The other 2 are somewhat right.
