1/144 8516 Entex Dornier Do-X 1929 Flying Boat - (DoX) - (ex Otaki)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
1970s issue from high quality Otaki molds. The Do-X was a famous German Flying Boat built in 1929; it quickly became a well-known name in most households. Dornier dreamed that this huge aircraft would become a trans-oceanic airliner with passengers traveling in ocean liner-like luxury. A tour of South and North American was conducted, but orders never materialized due to excessive fuel consumption and a lack of power. Total load was 170 passengers and crew, and the 12 engines developed 7200 HP. The actual kit is beautifully and finely molded with over 110 parts and a 13 inch wingspan. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions.
