From the design office headed by Claudius Dornier within the Zeppelin company, Dornier later developed into one of the most important German aircraft manufacturers. The company became particularly known for its bomber and seaplane models, with the Do 17 and Do 217 series being among the most influential bomber developments.

The Do 217K-1 was a further developed version of the basic Do 217 model and differed primarily in the newly designed front fuselage area. The cockpit was combined with the upper canopy into a single unit, creating more space for the crew and improving the pilot's visibility. It is precisely this striking glazing that gives the aircraft its own character, even as a model.

The first prototype of the Do 217K-1 flew on January 21st. March 1942, series production began in the fall of the same year. Although originally intended as a night bomber, this version was used in both day and night raids in Western Europe and the Mediterranean. This makes the kit particularly suitable for collections with a focus on the Air Force, medium bombers and European theaters of World War II.
