Yes, Siwi! And some of them are going to be combos like the swedish one, where you could assemble any or all of four paint scheme of the same plane. Just imagine four planes each 81cm width!

Today I finished the fist 1:33 scale Do-24T. It will be uploaded tomorrow, and will probably be available mid-week from ecardmodels.
The second 1:33 paint scheme will be the CD+BH of the 3/Seenotgruppe, that could be uploaded tomorrow too.

Status of the models:
Dornier Do-24T CD+BH Seenotgruppe/3 1942 has been uploaded to ecardmodels in 1:33 and 1:72 versions, will be available in a few days.
Do-24T DJ+ZM SeenotStaffeln 7 is available in 1:72 scale, has been uploaded to ecardmodels in 1:33 version, will be available in a few days.
Do-24T HD5-4 spanish SAR is available in 1:72 scale, it will be uploaded soon.

My model of the HD5-4 will be finished to assemble... today? it depends to real life schedule

Next versions will be the X-24, the F2-90 and one more of the spanish SARs.

Good news!

The first pair of Do-24t 1:33 have been released and are available from ecardmodels!
Same with the CD+BH Seenotgruppe/3 1:72!
So run and be the first to assemble them!

About the other ones, the 1:33 HD5-4 spanish SAR needed a final revision but couldn't do it due to family problems. It should be uploaded Monday afternoon.

The X-24 just needs to have the rounded dorsal turret that I haven't designg yet, and place the lateral flags in the right place. So it should be uploaded in a few days, both scales.

Before I forget, and I am sorry: one piece had a small mistake displaying where the central pilons go. It's not critical, because when you are asembling the model the right position fits naturally, but anyway you can go to ecardmodels and uploaded the corrected 1:72 files as today.

I started too with the RAAF version, needing just the new paint and a new air intake over the engine cowls.

The swedish F2-90 needs too the rounded turret that will be made for the X-24.

My spanish SAR model needs just some small optional details under the wings and laterals, and ready!

And last, I found pictures of a houseboat made with a Do-24 fuselage.

So, again, enjoy both 1:33 scale Do-24T planes!

Unfortunately, today the houseboat is in a poor condition, albeit in some kind of museum.

The real world model of the Do-24t HD5-4 has been finished and has enjoyed a photo sesion.
Soon (In a few days) the 1:33 version of this version, and the X-24 and F2-90 will be ready to upload.
Meanwhile, the ones from Seenotstaffel/3 and 7 are published in ecardmodels and being downloaded!

I just finished the beta-test of the X-24 turrets, and I just neet to fix the lines of the topmost piece. The dorsal one is rounded, and the rear one is squared. So today I'll upload to ecardmodels the 1:33 and 1:72 versions.
Thanks to this new turrets, I can build the swedish F2-90, that has the rounded dorsal turret and the rounded rear one. So tomorrow I'll upload this swedish model (both scales) and in two or three days, the four planes combo from the CM+RY to the F2-90, both versions too.
The spanish SAR, 1:33 scale, was uploaded some days ago so it should be available very soon.
Each model will have the corresponding turrets, antenae and air intakes. I'll will be always guiding me by the available pictures, or in case of doub, the most trustworthy source that I can find.

More good news!
The spanish SAR 1:33, is available from ecardmodels right now!
And the netherlands X-24 1:72 is ready to download NOW!

I couldn't upload the netherlands X-24 1:33 by minutes, but it should be ready to download this weekend!

Now will come the swedish F2-90, that should be ready the next week, and then another, and another!

So enjoy!

[Draco]

Wow! Ecardmodels is publishing fast!
Ok, let's go!
The X-24 (1:33 scale) has been released, and the swedish F2-90 has been uploaded so it will be available in a few days!
I changed the presentation of the options sheet for an easier understanding of the available and pending models. I hope you like the change!

Good idea! At least the French and other Dutch ones are quite simple colour schemes.


By the way, last night I discovered that as well as the Do-24, there were some captured Do-17s that ended up being used by the Allies in South-East Asia.
