1. Screen: Old model. Hull with no thickness and AlphaCut windows.
2. Screen: New model. Hull with no thickness and AlphaCut windows. Correct shapes and all, but still.
3. Screen: Your very own Do215. Hull thickness modelled and therefor can be shot that close without a problem.
I know that this is a result of the long development time and therefor there is no one who could be blamed for this. It is just something that will be noticed like the IL-2 Ju88 being out of shape and blocky compared to later twin engined planes like the A-20 or B-25.

Its true that the Ju88 only has alpha cut windows where the Do17 family has windows modelled into the 3D.
Scroll down to the 2005 pictures on this link, and look for the pictures of the Ju88 and Do17/215 together.

Since both models seem to be a similar age, I would assume that when they where made there were not set guidelines for the modellers as to whether windows should be made with alpha cuts or modelled in 3D.
Its unfortunate to have this kind of difference in quality between two aircraft of such similar size and complexity, this is the kind of difference that would seem more reasonable between for example a Bf109 and a He111, or between a He111 and a Sunderland flying boat. Apart from the windows, the rest of the two models seem very close in quality, so I do think it was just the choice of the person making the model.
