efrick Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Well, it would appear that it is in the works. This is one I'll have to make room for. 1st Quarter 2014 release. http://www.hk-models.de/p2_07.htm
Jamme Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Surely want one. Fantastic plane. Cheers, Jamme 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 5, 2013 Administrators Posted September 5, 2013 Soooo.... the inevitable question: Did Dragon sell both the 163 and 335? 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 5, 2013 Administrators Posted September 5, 2013 Ok. I'm going to do something i usually never do but lookin at the 3D renderings it looks as if this thing is smaller scale. Look at the engine mount detail, spark wires, pit detail and antenna on the spine. Weird.. 1
Jamme Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Agree with you Jeroen but it's mentioned: CAD-Bilder - WORK IN PROGRESS - NICHT FINAL! So, Wait and see ..... Cheers, Jamme 2
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 5, 2013 Administrators Posted September 5, 2013 Agree with you Jeroen but it's mentioned: CAD-Bilder - WORK IN PROGRESS - NICHT FINAL! So, Wait and see ..... Cheers, Jamme Hi Jamme, I know you are right and i'll wait. I just cant help myself! Why depict the antenna as a doughnut? Its just as easy to draw it to scale. Ok. I won't say anymore. (Why draw moulded on spark wires? Thats even more work than making them fine or leaving them off.) You did not read this. 1
Administrators James H Posted September 5, 2013 Administrators Posted September 5, 2013 DML could still have sold the CAD and it's being worked on by the buyer... 1
efrick Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 Soooo.... the inevitable question: Did Dragon sell both the 163 and 335? This was the first question that popped into my mind as well.
Grant Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Not my cup of tea but I agree with Matt, nice to see something different. Someone somewhere will pick up on my repeated calls for a Do-17 !! With the wreck being lifted from the sands off the coast of Kent then surely interest will pique ! 1

HK are making the wrong one! Rog 1

Rog Hey Rog, Yes, that would seem to be the logical progression for Revell. Having done two of the three BOB mainstays of the German "Kampfflieger" (JU-88 and HE-111) the DO-17 would SEEM to be the next logical step. The "flying pencil" has always been a favorite of mine as well, so let's keep hoping! Regards, Ed

Revell !! take note Seriously though, I agree wholeheartedly with Ed, it really would seem to be the logical progression - a Do-17 to accompany their excellent Heinkel and Junkers aircraft. 1

Agreed guys!!! ... Revell put out the Ju-88 and the Heinkel in (relatively) quick sucession and I guess everyone was expecting the Do-17z to follow - I know I was!! Totally gutted when they didn't! ... and even more surprised when no-one stepped in to fill the gap! - talk about a target of opportunity! ... and considering HK's history with bigger stuff, I'd definately say they got the wrong Dornier ... pity! Well ... I live in hope! Rog 2
Matt_ Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 I am sure that once the immediately necessary conservation work has been carried out to stabilise the structure, Revell will be making approaches to the RAF Museum to get access to the Do 17. I think we should be thankful that Revell's policy appears to be that of only tooling up their Luftwaffe kits when they have access to the real deal (though the He 219 was a different matter). We've seen how the work put in on the Gardermoen Ju 88 and He 111 have paid off, so I for one am happy to wait for an accurate model... It's not like our stashes aren't full to bursting.... Matt 3
Wingco57 Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I thought this thread is about the 335 not the 17 . As soon as that one is to be expected let's start A new thread. Cees 1

Didn't mean to hijack it! ... but at least it didn't turn into a mess of conspiracy theories on industrial espionage - as on another such topic, on another forum ;) ... congrats to HK on another kit!
