Thread: German Pre-WWII Flying Boats on Shapeways

  1. #1

    Default German Pre-WWII Flying Boats on Shapeways

    While searching on Shapeways for something else, I discovered these two beauties:

    Dornier Do-18D in 1/200 by ‘New Aragon Mechanical Works’ https://www.shapeways.com/product/5C...li=marketplace
    Dornier Do-24T in 1/200 by ‘AE Models’ https://www.shapeways.com/product/XG...li=marketplace

    I don't know if these have been mentioned before. I'm sure the WWII crowd may find these of use.
    So how many books are in your personal library?

    There's an active thread on the Do.24. I don't recall anything on the Do.18.

    The Dutch used them briefly in the Pacific. They had 33. The Germans of course used them too. 279 made according to Wikipedia. Do 18, 170.

    I will have to look, but I think I have both of them in my "My Little Luftwaffe boxes . . .

    An attempt to get the engines far from the water. You should look at the Lioré et Olivier LeO H-242.

    A number of Flying boats went with this design feature.
