I got it today! Classic Airframes new 1/48 Do 17Z. I have been waiting for this one like a 8 year old waiting for his parent to wake up Xmas morning! All of you other Do 17Z fans no longer have to suffer with Hobbycraft’s P O S offering anymore. I believe Classic Airframes has rasied the bar agian for the quality of short run kits. The parts breakdown looks like it can be constructed without any major cursing or the need for nerve calming substances. A one piece upper wing should make wing to fusalage assembly much easier than before. If there were alignment pins one could easily be persuaded this was a mass production mold. Anyway I must go now to play with my new toy and makes niosed like Dr Frankensteins assistant Renfield. Muhahahaha! Here are a couple of pics.

Looks nice! Keep us posted with your build when you start it. [tup]
…but I thought Renfield was Dracula’s assistant. [;)]
Sweet - did you order directly from Classic Airframes, or did you get it from somewhere else online?
Early reviews are very favorable. Great release for Luftwaffe fans.
Regards, Rick
Hi alumni72
I purchased it on evilbay late Thursday night on a but it now auction for $54.50 plus shipping. I had to blink twice when I saw it. Here it was in stock and at a substantial discount off the $77.00 list price! If you are interested there is still one listed on this sellers site for the same price. Here is the link.

Darn, I think you are right ruddratt. I need to brush up on my old movies. Igor was Dr Frankensteins assistant. I was so excited about the new kit I mixed them up.
