{"product_id":"icm-do-217m-1-wwii-german-bomber","title":"Icm Do 217M-1, Wwii German Bomber","description":"The development of the Do 217M-1 bomber was driven by a shortage of BMW 801D engines, which were originally intended for the Do 217K-1 variant. By 1943, the territory of the Reich was already under heavy bombardment by Allied air forces, and the BMW 801D engines were urgently needed to produce both day and night fighters for air defence. As an alternative solution, Dornier engineers adapted the Do 217K-1 design to accommodate a different engine the DB 603. This led to the creation of the new Do 217M-1 variant. The powerful DB 603A engines, delivering 1,750 hp and fitted with four-bladed propellers, significantly improved the aircrafts flight performance, increasing its top speed to 557 km\/h. However, this came at the cost of a slightly reduced operational range. The defensive armament and bomb load of the new variant remained identical to those of the Do 217K. The Do 217M-1 aircraft were produced in parallel with the Do 217K-1 and remained in service with Luftwaffe bomber and reconnaissance squadrons until the end of the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"'box-sizing:\" inherit rgb sans sans-serif normal left none initial id='\"isPasted\"' font-weight:=\"\" color:=\"\" font-family:=\"\" font-size:=\"\" font-style:=\"\" font-variant-ligatures:=\"\" font-variant-caps:=\"\" letter-spacing:=\"\" orphans:=\"\" text-align:=\"\" text-indent:=\"\" text-transform:=\"\" widows:=\"\" word-spacing:=\"\" white-space:=\"\" text-decoration-thickness:=\"\" text-decoration-style:=\"\" text-decoration-color:=\"\" background-color:=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style='\"box-sizing:' inherit color: rgb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul style=\"'box-sizing:\" inherit rgb sans sans-serif normal left none initial color:=\"\" font-family:=\"\" font-size:=\"\" font-style:=\"\" font-variant-ligatures:=\"\" font-variant-caps:=\"\" font-weight:=\"\" letter-spacing:=\"\" orphans:=\"\" text-align:=\"\" text-indent:=\"\" text-transform:=\"\" widows:=\"\" word-spacing:=\"\" white-space:=\"\" text-decoration-thickness:=\"\" text-decoration-style:=\"\" text-decoration-color:=\"\" background-color:=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eVariant of the Do 217 bomber equipped with DB 603A engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eDetailed reproduction of the large glazed cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eAccurate rendering of the aircraft's geometry, based on real Do 217M-1 examples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eIncludes various types of bomb loadouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eColour schemes and decals for four marking options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"'box-sizing:\" inherit rgb sans sans-serif normal left none initial font-weight:=\"\" color:=\"\" font-family:=\"\" font-size:=\"\" font-style:=\"\" font-variant-ligatures:=\"\" font-variant-caps:=\"\" letter-spacing:=\"\" orphans:=\"\" text-align:=\"\" text-indent:=\"\" text-transform:=\"\" widows:=\"\" word-spacing:=\"\" white-space:=\"\" text-decoration-thickness:=\"\" text-decoration-style:=\"\" text-decoration-color:=\"\" background-color:=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style='\"box-sizing:' inherit color: rgb\u003eModel Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul style=\"'box-sizing:\" inherit rgb sans sans-serif normal left none initial color:=\"\" font-family:=\"\" font-size:=\"\" font-style:=\"\" font-variant-ligatures:=\"\" font-variant-caps:=\"\" font-weight:=\"\" letter-spacing:=\"\" orphans:=\"\" text-align:=\"\" text-indent:=\"\" text-transform:=\"\" widows:=\"\" word-spacing:=\"\" white-space:=\"\" text-decoration-thickness:=\"\" text-decoration-style:=\"\" text-decoration-color:=\"\" background-color:=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eScale: \u003cstrong style='\"box-sizing:' inherit font-weight:\u003e1:48\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eNumber of Parts: \u003cstrong style='\"box-sizing:' inherit font-weight:\u003e204\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eLength: \u003cstrong style='\"box-sizing:' inherit font-weight:\u003e366 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eWidth: \u003cstrong style='\"box-sizing:' inherit font-weight:\u003e399 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style='\"box-sizing:' inherit\u003eBox size: \u003cstrong style='\"box-sizing:' inherit font-weight:\u003e410 x 260 x 55 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55431862813006,"sku":"HCO-ICM48274","price":64.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/1741\/0894\/files\/2de5cc31-eefb-4a65-bd56-e75d373d69aa.jpg?v=1772810492","url":"https:\/\/www.makeitbuildit.co.uk\/products\/icm-do-217m-1-wwii-german-bomber","provider":"Make It Build It","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
