Dornier Do-17Z UPDATE!
« on: March 29, 2025, 04:38:56 PM »

UPDATE!

Hello to all!
I managed to put together  ;) a skinpack of 27 skins for the Dornier Do-17Z from 1/KH76, 8/KG76 and 9/KG76 between May and September 1940. Another skinpack for KG2 and KG3 is coming. I hope you like it. I will share the template as I did for the other skins.Skins are semi-historical.

All the best!

===========================================================================================================

Hello to all!
I've arrived with the skin for the Dornier Do-17 Z, in a more advanced phase, if not the final one. Honestly, it seems to me that it came out quite well. I've changed the RLM 70 and 71 camouflage a few times, I think this would be the final shade. I want to make some planes for KG76, KG 2 KG 3 and a version for Africa.

Wish all the best! Health and peace!

… and a version for Africa… The 10./ZG 26 should use 8 Do 17Z between March and November 1942.

Usually is represented the 3U+FU, in RLM 78/79/80 camo. Me only known picture of this plane rather don’t shows RLM 80 blotches,

it looks closer to interpretation of Eduard here:

In any case, good luck, I look forward to your work.

What is fuzzling on that single Afrika Dornier was in 50s/60s literature bad repros and a habbit
of matte laqueur to show darker shades of grime and other surface dirt.
I saw Hurricanes reproduced which appeared to have glossed surfaced? Crazy?
In their original style the pictures show a matte surface.
How does it come? Contrast and play with lightning, it can give opposite results, a lighter, worn kite can
appear almost dark.
If you look closer every Desert Hurri/Spit has such habbits, thus becoming a
dark blotchy patient if we take things for granted.

Take photoshop and find, if you twinkle with lightning you can make it appear blotchy, that is how
early bad repros came through in 50/60s literature, miserable theories I think.

I skinned that one too, it became suspicious when I had good repros of the pictures.
Indeed it was photographed multiple times, when I recall my research.
The 2nd picture, I fstumbled across during my Desert Hurries work, that lifetime project still continueing here.

The good is today you can counter check old theories easier, searching for high res Pictures
of the target is easy peasy.



Look closely over the Numeral 3, you can trace the former Dark Green Camo coming through the thinnly
applied Sand colour. A too linear dark pattern exactly matching the ETO factory Scheme of Do-17Zs, not freestyle blotch.

The darker shades are worn Sand colour at these areas simply, if you spin the brain, you wanna see cool blotches,
no it's not, just colour faded and obviously not very thickly applied. Not every a/c looked like tossed, dipped into a laqueur bath.

Your Template looking cool Wolf, keep it up

Hello, Tobias! Regarding the fact that the original camouflage is visible under the thin sandy paint,... then the paint underneath was not the standard European camouflage. But it is possible that there are also RLM80 spots, as presented in Topdrawings-Dornier Do-17/Do-215. Many of the photographs during the war were taken by amateurs, with less efficient cameras, perhaps also developed amateurishly and in front-line conditions. Only those who worked in the Ministry of Propaganda had quality photographic paper. And exactly what you said, the poor quality of the photo reproduction. I found the same photo in the book Eagles over North Africa and the Mediterranean,a little brighter.

All the best!
