Do 217K-1 - WWII German Bomber

The ICM Do 217K-1 is a finely detailed 1:48 scale model kit of the WWII German bomber, capturing the distinctive K-1 variant with its enlarged, integrated glass cockpit. Drawing on the Dornier lineage established under Count Zeppelin’s design bureau in 1914, this kit reflects the development of one of the Third Reich’s principal bomber types. The real Do 217K-1, powered by twin BMW 80ID engines, reached up to 515 km/h at 4,000 m, carried a maximum bomb load of 4,000 kg, and operated as both a day and night bomber across Western Europe and the Mediterranean. The first prototype flew on 21 March 1942, with series production following in the autumn.

ICM’s tooling focuses on accuracy and refined surface detail, with particular attention to the unique cockpit glazing and internal features such as gun mounts, crew areas and engines. With four marking options included, this kit provides an authentic platform to represent the Do 217K-1 in service. Part number HC-ICM48273.
