Hey guys!

I have a question, the Hobbycraft kit is completely devoid of ANY interior detail like an old Lindbergh kit is. Plus there are a lot of windows so yes people will see that there is nothing there. All the reviews I've read is to slavage the seats, control yoke and panel. Then scrap the rest and build your own.

I really would like to try but do you guys think its worth it?

I have the Hobbycraft Do-17Z and started it back about 5 years ago but didn't get far because of the lack of detail in the cockpit. I had intended to do a lot of scratch building there but never got back to it. I think it would be worth it as a lot can be seen, especially if you use the squadron canopies and nose,(I bought those too and they are much better looking than the ones in the kit) but it would be a lot of work, and be sure you have plenty of reference pictures before you start.

EDIT:
Harrison I just read your thread about the Do-17 canopies and Terry does have a point. If you don't have experience with vacuform canopies the Do-17 is probably not the place to start. They're large and oddly shaped and would probably be a pain to cut out and install even for someone who has done a lot of them. Probably best to go with the kit glass and just polish it up and dip it in Future.
