Dornier DO-17 E/F

hi roger,
firstly welcome...

i built the hobbycraft Z version and that was similarly lacking in detail, and i seem to remember i butchered a resin cockpit detail set for a ju-88 i had spare just to stop the cockpit looking like an empty cupboard![:0]
i suggest trying to get swanny's help here as he built the same kit as you i think...maybe check out his website...he is a regular contributor here and has always been most helpful.

sorry couldn't provide anything more constructive.

Eduard has a PE detail kit for the Monogram 1/72 DO-17Z, which probably isn't too much different at least from the standpoint of adding some detail to the kit. You can take a look at their site at www.eduard.com, search for DO-17. I have an old Argus book about building Battle of Britain aircraft, there is scant info in there on the DO-17. With the big greehouse canopy on this plane it's begging for some detail isn't it... Good luck. Looking at this cutaway view of this bomber, all I can say is I wouldn't want to be inside on the receiving end of a Hurricane...

Here's a couple of pages of pics. There is only one cockpit interior shot, probably of a Do 17Z, in B&W.

Hope this helps.
