COBI 1384 – Dornier Do J Wal "Amundsen" – Pioneers of the Arctic

Step back into the year 1925, when the Arctic remained one of the earth's last great frontiers. This model brings the dramatic survival story of the N-25 to life. Roald Amundsen and his crew relied on this robust flying boat to conquer the North Pole. When they became trapped in the pack ice, the Dornier Do J Wal became their only hope for escape. Every angle of this model breathes the spirit of the age of discovery and the unshakeable determination of polar explorers.

Featuring 483 parts, this set perfectly captures the distinctive silhouette of the legendary seaplane in 1:48 scale. The build utilizes clever SNOT (Studs Not On Top) techniques to recreate the rounded fuselage and iconic tandem engine configuration. The dual propeller setup and characteristic sponsons provide a tactile experience that will delight technology enthusiasts and historians alike. Thanks to the high-quality pad printing and complete absence of stickers, the model's appearance will never fade.

This set is primarily designed for discerning collectors and fans of aviation history. With the included sturdy presentation stand and nameplate, the Dornier Do J Wal becomes a striking centerpiece for any display. It is more than just a model—it is a tribute to Claude Dornier's engineering brilliance and the courage of Roald Amundsen, whose exclusive minifigure completes the set.
