Day 241/18. Dornier X - Completed

I have been giving occasional updates, well today the Dornier X manufacturing is complete. This was a 'vintage' kit from the early 1980's and a bit tricky to build.
The Dornier Do X was the largest, heaviest, and most powerful flying boat in the world when it was produced by the Dornier company of Germany in 1929. First conceived by Dr. Claude Dornier in 1924, after over 240,000 work-hours it was completed in June 1929. Dornier designed the flying boat to carry 66 passengers on long-distance flights or 100 passengers on short flights.
The luxurious passenger accommodation approached the standards of transatlantic liners. There were three decks. On the main deck was a smoking room with its own wet bar, a dining salon, and seating for the 66 passengers which could also be converted to sleeping berths for night flights. Aft of the passenger spaces was an all-electric galley, lavatories, and cargo hold. The cockpit, navigational office, engine control and radio rooms were on the upper deck. The lower deck held fuel tanks and nine watertight compartments.
For its time, amazing. Only 3 were ever built, one of which completed a round the world tour, reaching New York on 27 August 1931.
