Revell 03814 Dornier 217J-1/2 1/48 – Plastic Model Kit

The Revell 03814 Dornier 217J-1/2 plastic model kit in 1/48 scale is a faithfully reproduced model of the German bomber and night fighter from World War II. The Dornier Do 217J was mainly used by the Luftwaffe and played a significant role in night combat operations, particularly during the air defense of the Third Reich and raids on Allied positions. The kit allows you to build either the J-1 or the J-2 version, reflecting differences in armament configuration and radar equipment.

The Do 217J was an aircraft based on the Do 217 bomber, adapted for the role of a night fighter. Most aircraft were equipped with the Lichtenstein radar and strong, interchangeable gun armaments. They served from 1942 until the end of the war, achieving successes mainly during the Allied bombing campaign over Germany.
