The kit contains moulded fuselage and flying-boat hull, wings, engine and propeller assemblies, cockpit, crew\/detail parts, beaching equipment, clear parts, decals and instructions; the tooling represents the G-1\/V-2\/D-2 family and the original decal sheet contained three German markings. The Dornier Do 18 first flew in 1935 and was developed from a civil flying-boat design. It was already becoming obsolete when WWII began but served mainly with the Luftwaffe for North Sea maritime reconnaissance, later being relegated to training and sea-rescue duties. This is a less common Matchbox subject and commands a premium over many of the smaller fighters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matchbox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57559798776188,"sku":"Matchbox-PK-409 \/ 40409","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0432\/8584\/0033\/files\/699D36D2-7A66-4366-9449-D73782E361B6.jpg?v=1791139723","url":"https:\/\/sussex-model-centre.co.uk\/products\/dornier-do-18-g-1-v-2-d-2-matchbox-1-72-plastic-model-kit-vintage","provider":"Sussex Model Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
