Known for its versatility and adaptability, the aircraft was capable of carrying out a wide range of missions in its various versions, including strategic bombing, surface attack, and night-fighting operations. The Dornier Do 217K variant was specifically distinguished by a reinforced fuselage, redesigned wing surfaces, and upgraded engines. It was further developed to carry and deploy the Ruhrstahl SD 1400 “Fritz X” radio-guided bomb—an advanced and pioneering weapon for its time—mounted on an underwing pylon. With this configuration, the Do 217K was primarily deployed in the Mediterranean theater. On September 9, 1943, the Italian battleship Roma was struck and sunk by a Fritz X off the coast of Sardinia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale is 1:72\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize of the model is 25.3cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bomber is in the \"Fritz-X Carrier\" configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecal options for interesting and eye-catching liveries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper decal sheet for six different versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigures not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew parts for the cockpit, landing hear, defensive armaments, and flame-dumper exhausts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:72\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e German\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1939-1945 - World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italeri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1488\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Order - ETA 2-4 Weeks.\u003c\/strong\u003e We order this in for you from the UK distributor, so please allow 2 to 4 weeks for it to reach you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56960061997442,"sku":"1488","price":33.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/5842\/9059\/files\/1488_001.jpg?v=1791019233","url":"https:\/\/www.loadeddice.uk\/products\/italeri-1-72-dornier-do-217-k-1-k-2-with-fritz-x-guided-bombs-1488","provider":"Loaded Dice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
