 | | The model depicts Do 217 N2/R22, coded 3C + IP (Wk-Nr 1570), a machine belonging to the 6th Staffel of II./NJG 4 operating from Tavaux France, which on the early hours of May 1 1944, piloted by Feldwebel Gunther Konzac landed mistakenly in Birsfeden airfield outside of Basel, Switzerland. |
 | | The kit used as a basis for this conversion was the Revell kit of Do 217 E2 combined with Coster Aero Enterprises' engine nacelles and nose. |
 | | There is photographic evidence, see photo below, part of the photo in Manfred Griehl's book about the Do 217 and compare it with the photo of the model shot from about the same angle. |
