  The Dornier Do17
Dornier constructed a number of aircraft that were later to be dubbed the "Flying Pencils" due mainly to the long thin outline of the fuselage.
The first flight of the Dornier was on November 23rd 1934, and was rejected by Lufthansa and the prototypes were left in a hangar, only to be discovered a few years later by Robert Untucht who was the air ministry liaison officer, and a test pilot with Lufthansa.
By the 9th prototype the 217 ended up with the powerful BMW 801 engine and although these improvements were positive, those that flew it stated that it was acceptable to fly but modifications still needed to be made to make it an airworthy long range bomber in military situations.

In 1932, Dornier turned his talents to military aircraft, developing two distinctive thin-fuselaged, twin-engined bombers, the DO-17 and the DO-217, which became mainstays of the Luftwaffe's bomber and reconnaissance fleet in World War II.

Il est établi que les Dornier 217 avaient mauvaise réputation chez les pilotes allemand, celui-ci en mai 1944 étais déja en fin de vie utile, et comme le II/NJG 4 revenait pour partie du front de l'est, le maintien d'armement défensif Type MG131 ne se justifiait guère faute de chasseurs de nuit soviétiques potentiellement efficaces.
Au total, seulement 364 chasseurs de nuit Dornier 217 séries J et N seront fabriqués.
Pour ce qui concerne l'épave du Dornier 217, il semblerai que faute d'avoir les moyens matériels de la relever en fonction du terrain et de la conjoncture, les allemands l'aie dynamité, comme d'usage dans ces cas là.

 Revell Dornier Do-217 J2
Dit model heb ik al een hele tijd in mijn bezit voor het maken van een recentie en omdat mijn interesse uitgaat naar de Duitse nachtjagers heb ik besloten om er een Dornier nachtjager van te bouwen.
Hiermee kan ik ook een recentie maken van de E-5 omdat het model voor 95% hetzelfde is en alleen de neus en radarinstallatie aangebracht moet worden.
Met dank aan de firma Revell voor het beschikbaar stellen van het model en zodoende de vele uurtjes bouwen voor een dankbare aanwinst in mijn nachtjager verzameling.

Although the Do-217E-1 proved relatively effective during early operations, experience dictated increases in both offensive and defensive armament, the provision of some armor protection for the crew, and other changes aimed at increasing the versatility of the basic aircraft.
This is a long awaited version of the Do 217 and can build up into a nice kit.
This is a highly recommended kit, especially for those that have the previous kits and want to continue to fill out the Dornier line.
