Sprue Check Dornier Do 217K ICM 1 48 Unboxing

In this video we open the brand new 1 48 new tool from ICM, the Dornier Do 217K. We walk every sprue and focus on smart engineering details like the one piece upper wing with spar, the BMW 801 engine nacelles with wheel well structure, the selectable open bomb bay with racks, and the crystal clear K version glazing. If you like imposing Luftwaffe bombers with real in box options, this kit deserves attention.

What’s inside
• All sprues including variant parts shared with the M and night fighter family
• Four marking choices with a full stencil sheet and placement notes to get unit codes right
• Clear parts for the K nose with flat panels plus canopy mask templates to copy
• BMW 801 engines with optional flame dampers and tidy nacelle interiors
• Bomb bay options open or closed with racks and ordnance, turret parts, and cockpit sidewalls

Pros
• Crisp modern molding with sharp recessed panel lines and clean part breakdown
• Wing spar helps lock the dihedral and avoid tip droop on this big airframe
• Clear instructions with color keyed steps that guide both new and experienced builders
• Generous extras for alternate builds including night fighter noses and Daimler Benz nacelles for the M
• Transparencies are clear and well framed, inviting mask and paint work

Cons
• Given the extensive glazing on this subject, a sheet of masks for the clear parts would have been very useful.
• Twin nose gun option may need a gentle tweak at the mounting point
• True fit and engineering will be confirmed during a full build since this is a sprue check
