It was originally intended as a fast six-passenger mail plane and its V1 prototype flew in November 1934. Following tests and design improvements in-line and radial engine powered aircraft were evolved, represented by the Do 17E\/F and Do 17K\/M\/P, respectively. The most recognised and mass-produced variant was the Do 17Z series, with the Z-2 bombers and Z-3 long-range reconnaissance planes. Due to its fuselage outline it was dubbed the \u2018Flying Pencil\u2019.<br \/>\nThe Do 17 was a four-seat, all-metal monoplane powered by two Bramo Fafnir radial engines. It had a shoulder wing configuration and twin tail fins. Its long thin fuselage was fitted with a stepped cockpit and a glazed nose. Its bombload was 1,000 kg and it was fitted with six machine guns.<br \/>\nDo 17Zs were produced by four factories and in total some 880 aircraft were built.<br \/>\nThe Do 17 was used throughout the war, and saw action in significant numbers in every major European campaign theatre as a front line aircraft until the end of 1941. The last airworthy operated aircraft being used by the Finnish Air Force were eventually scrapped 1952.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Colour schemes included in the kit:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) Dornier Do 17Z-2, U5+DT, Yellow D, III.\/KG 2 \u2018Holzhammer\u2019, Luftwaffe, Thessaloniki-Sedes airfield, Greece, April 1941<\/p>\n<p>2) Dornier Do 17Z-2, U5+EH, White E, 1.\/KG 2 \u2018Holzhammer\u2019, Luftwaffe, Athens-Tatoi airfield, Greece, May 1941<\/p>\n<p>3) Dornier Do 17Z-2, A1+KZ, Yellow K, 15.(kroat.)\/KG 53, Luftwaffe, Zagreb (Agram) airfield, Croatia, July 1942<\/p>\n<p>4) Dornier Do 17Z-2, 3.
