I'm in withe the new Airfix 1/72 Dornier 17z.
I'll be taking the kit from the recently released Dogfight Double set which includes the new BP Defaint. A great set that represents good value for money given the rrp of the individual kits and the included extras.


The Defiant comes individually bagged, as does the stand and acrylic paints and brushes. I can't see these paints being enough to finish both kits but I suppose it gets the targeted audience (kids and first time modelers) back to buy the bigger pots.

And the Dornier.
Full colour painting instructions are provided which are big improvement over the old black and white drawings.

A few extras I'll be using. Peewits canopy masks, I'm eager to see how these work compared with Eduards and a some figures from Preiser. This set includes a bomber crew being briefed before take off so planning on building a small diorama from it.

Now, the really cool thing about this kit is the included markings. The Dornier is finished in the markings of the one recovered from Goodwin Sands a few years ago and the Defiant is the aircraft that shot it down. A great idea I think.
If I have time I'll also build the Defiant.
