Italeri Dornier Do 217 K-1/K-2 with Fritz X Guided Bombs – 1:72 Scale WWII German Bomber Model Kit

The Italeri Dornier Do 217 K-1/K-2 with Fritz X guided bombs 1:72 scale model kit recreates one of the Luftwaffe’s most advanced and historically significant twin-engine bombers of the Second World War. Designed for precision surface attacks, this version of the Dornier Do 217 was modified to carry the revolutionary Ruhrstahl SD 1400 “Fritz X” radio-guided bomb—marking one of the first uses of precision-guided munitions in combat.

Featuring a reinforced fuselage, updated wing surfaces and upgraded engines, the Do 217 K variant played a pivotal role in the Mediterranean theatre. Notably, it was responsible for the sinking of the Italian battleship Roma in 1943. This detailed plastic aircraft model kit includes new parts for the cockpit, landing gear, flame-dumper exhausts and defensive armaments, enhancing realism and historical accuracy. The Fritz-X configuration is faithfully represented with underwing bomb mounts.

With a model length of 25.3 cm when assembled, this unpainted kit (kit number 1488) includes a super decal sheet with markings for six distinctive versions, allowing for highly customisable and historically diverse builds. Suitable for modellers aged 14 and above, this 1:72 scale aircraft kit offers depth, challenge, and outstanding visual impact for any World War II aviation collection.
