They do not contain paints and glues unless otherwise stated.\u003cbr\u003eDescription\u003cbr\u003eThe German Do 217M-1 bomber was a variant of the Do 217 series, equipped with DB 603A engines producing 1,750 horsepower. Combined with four-blade propellers, this significantly improved the bomber’s flight performance and increased its maximum speed to 557 km\/h, though at the cost of reduced range. The Do 217M-1 served with Luftwaffe bomber and reconnaissance squadrons until the end of World War II. In spring 1945, the Allies captured one such bomber in Beldringe, Denmark. The aircraft received RAF markings and flew to Schleswig in September 1945. In October, it was relocated to Farnborough airfield in Great Britain. On October 18, it made its first test flight, and on November 4, 1945, it participated in a demonstration flight as part of a special squadron of captured Luftwaffe aircraft. The aircraft remained in Britain until the mid-1950s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003eCaptured Do 217M-1 bomber seized by the Allies in spring 1945 and adopted into RAF service\u003cbr\u003eDetailed reproduction of the large glazed cockpit\u003cbr\u003eAccurate aircraft geometry based on real Do 217M-1 bomber specifications\u003cbr\u003eIncludes decals with RAF identification markings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel Information\u003cbr\u003eScale: 1:48\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Parts: 204\u003cbr\u003eLength: 366 mm\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 399 mm\u003cbr\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58181105353085,"sku":"ICM48276","price":62.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6604\/3780\/files\/03v2tt1tybp.jpg?v=1779031663","url":"https:\/\/fieldsofglorymodels.co.uk\/products\/icm-aircraft-148-scale-do-217m-1-wwii-raf-bomber","provider":"Fields of Glory Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
