Eduard 491018 Do 217N-1 1/48 ICM – photo-etched detail set

Eduard 491018 is a dedicated photo-etched set for the Dornier Do 217N-1 night bomber model in 1/48 scale, designed for the ICM brand kit. This product serves as an advanced upgrade to the standard plastic kit, allowing for a significant increase in detail level both in the cockpit interior and in the exterior elements of the aircraft. The set includes precisely cut brass photo-etched parts as well as colored details, mainly intended for replicating cockpit instruments, crew seat belts, control consoles, and small structural details that are very difficult to reproduce in traditional plastic.

The Dornier Do 217N-1 was a German bomber and night fighter used by the Luftwaffe during World War II, especially between 1942 and 1945. The N-1 variant was specifically adapted for night operations, playing a vital role in defending against raids on the Third Reich during the so-called night air battles. This version was distinguished by the installation of the Lichtenstein radar and reinforced armament for combat with Allied bombers.
