what I said - it's too basic. I need the engines and internals more than I do the nose.

I think I'll have to go with this kit.. it;s not a P - but I can pobably extend the nose easily enough since it's all damaged. This kit has the engine and internal detail that is essential - I can't find a good kit of the P version.

that looks right

Could have been deliberately destroyed by the crew, or there was a fire - could be a combo of crash landing and fire damage if it's made of aluminium Anyway... it looks cool.

well it must also have crashed at some point. But yes... I think you can see both tail fins - and there's nothing from the cockpit backwards - so the entire fuselage is missing/destroyed with the tail off the right (left on the image). I can't see a good P version kit, but ICM do a several...

thanks - I think you're right - P version explains the nose which I didn't think was right for a DO17. Thanks. Could be a good candidate for my next crashed plane diorama ;) If I can find a good 1/48 kit

a downed German bomber in Stalingrad - but can you help me identify it?

ok - I think I'm about done with this. I just need to matt varnish the decals - they're a bit glossy. And then I will add snow so it matches my game table - but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

colour test.

So am I right in assuming the main fuselage is aluminium (so I can do bare metal around the damages) but that the aelerones are canvas! Is that why they’re basically rotted away in the photos ?

Thanks.. I think 🤔

I like this scheme... but I guess I do need a scheme that's appropriate for Stalingrad.
