Old Monogram Do17Z
Posted by plasticjunkie on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 4:45 PM

I just completed this Monogram 1/72 Do17Z for the Monogram Mafia GB. I built one of these when it first came out in 1968 so it was a blast from the past. I built this one in flying mode and added Prop Blurs to suggest spinning props. I also added a wood base to the original Monogram stand.

I think the Prop Blurs look very cool.

Another masterpiece to add to your collection.  Fantastic job on the extras like the prop blur and wood base.  Adds realism (Prop blur) and elegance (Wood base).

Thanks guys. I'm glad you like how this old model came out.

I think the trick to the blurs is to not look at the individual props but look at the entire picture as a whole then the blurred effect appears.

Yes Bish it's 1/72. I have seen reviews on the new Airfix 17Z in 1/72 and is very detailed specially the pit.

This Monogram kit is from 1968 and still a decent little model.

It sure looks bigger than 1/72 because of the excellent way you have built her. Yes Beer
