The key modification was an extended wingspan of nearly 25 meters – necessary to handle the significantly increased combat load, as a single guided bomb weighed 1570 kg. To preserve flight range, an additional 1160-liter fuel tank was installed in the forward bomb bay. Two special racks for the Fritz-X bombs were mounted under the wings between the fuselage and engines. The German company Ruhrstahl A.G. developed the bomb, designed by engineer Max Kramer. It was an armor-piercing glide bomb for attacking armored naval targets, with flight control from the aircraft via radio waves. The carrier bomber had to fly at an altitude of at least 4 km. The Fritz-X carried 360 kg of explosives and could penetrate 130–150 mm of armor—sufficient to destroy even battleships. The most famous use of the Do 217K-2 bomber (crew commander Major Bernhard Jope) and the Fritz-X bomb was the sinking of the Italian battleship Roma on September 9, 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/48   \u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM Models   \u003cstrong\u003eItem:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM48275\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: ICM Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Do 217K-2 with  Gliding Bombs Fritz-X Bomber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: ICM48275\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Aircraft Model Kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/icm-models\"\u003eICM Models\u003c\/a\u003e, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-aircraft\"\u003eModel Aircraft\u003c\/a\u003e or prepare your next project with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tools-supplies\"\u003eTools \u0026amp; Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e at Mega Hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICM Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67974302597194,"sku":"ICM48275","price":97.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/3066\/5546\/files\/icm48275-148-icm-do-217k-2-w-gliding-bombs-fritz-x-bomber-plastic-model-kit-squadron-model-models__33605.1776495200.webp?v=1794548748","url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/icm48275","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
