The Italeri 1/72 Dornier Do 217 K-1/K-2 with Fritz-X Guided Bombs (1488) is a 1/72 scale model kit of the Do 217K bomber carrying the Fritz-X radio-guided bomb — one of history's first precision guided weapons. The Fritz-X proved devastatingly effective in September 1943 when Do 217K crews sank the Italian battleship Roma and severely damaged HMS Warspite using this pioneering guided weapon. The combination of bomber and guided bomb makes this a fascinating and historically significant subject.
