1/72 40409 Matchbox Dornier Do-18 G-1 / V-2 / D-2 Civil or Military - Luftwaffe Calais-based 3/KuFlGr 406 (1940) or 2/KuFlGr 506 Kiel 1938 or Civil D-AANE 'Zyklon' Lufthansa South Atlantic Mail Service (1938)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Dated 1992 and from original molds. Nicely detailed kit for that time with optional parts for all three versions and a paint guide and markings for the three aircraft listed. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Lufthansa was a pioneer in trans-oceanic mail services and the Do-15 and Do-18 grew to fit this need. Given the German interests in South America, it was no surprise that they established one of the first airmail services between Europe and that continent. This kit will build one of those aircraft, the Lufthansa South Atlantic Mail Aircraft (1938) D-AANE 'Zyklon' or the military version. The Do-18 was an improved D0-15 'Wal' and set several records during it's long useful life.
